Conflict is inevitable in any team, organisation or family, but the secret to healthy teams,
organisations and families is in how we manage that conflict. Recent research suggests
not only that conflict is something that healthy groups experience, but actually that it is
essential to healthy group functioning. This presentation from London Business School Professor Peterson provided both a framework for understanding how to resolve conflict effectively, and a number of specific and practical tips for managing conflicts in your team.

I had members of the class give real life examples of Conflict Causes as listed on pages 13-18 . This helped bring out some very REAL issues (without centering anyone out) that we were able to provide resolutions for. Worked well. Good Luck.
A conflict arises when individuals have varied interests, opinions and thought processes and are just not willing to compromise with each other. It is always wise to adjust to some extent and try to find a solution to the problem rather than cribbing and fighting. Conflicts and disagreements only lead to negativity and things never reach a conclusion.
Interpersonal Skills include communication skills as persuading, listening, and influencing; Leadership skills as prob;em solving, decision making, conflict resolution and finally Team Management as delegating and motivating
Diversity and culture competence are factors as well

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. What is conflict?
• An expressed struggle – Disagreement becomes verbal
and nonverbal facial/gestures show aggression.
• Between at least two independent people – Conflict
between members affects group members.
• Incompatible goals, scarce resources and interference –
Conflict often because two people want the same thing.
• Achieving a goal- Understanding what people want helps
to manage the conflict.
13. Five Conflict Management Styles
• Dysfunctional families – Many of us grew up in families where
we didn’t learn to effectively communicate in relationships,
especially when it involves conflict – being assertive helps heal
and reduces our stress and conflict with others.
There are five basic styles of communication:
- Avoidance
- Accommodation
- Competition
- Compromise
- Collaboration
14. Five Conflict Management
Styles
Avoidance is a style (AS) in which individuals have developed a
pattern of avoiding expressing their opinions or feelings, protecting their rights, and
identifying and meeting their needs.
AS will:
•Avoid conflict
•Fall to assert themselves
•Allows others to infringe on their rights
•Tend to speak softy and apologetically
Issues:
•Avoidance can make conflict worse
•Avoidance demonstrates lack of care or concern
When is this style appropriate?
•Can be positive, especially if the conflict is too big or emotional to resolve without help
•Can give a group time to cool off – or allows group to avoid ‘hot' issues to get in the way
15. Five Conflict Management Styles
Accommodation is a style (ACS) in which individuals give in to
avoid a major blow up or controversy. Not a bad approach,
especially when conflict is pseudo or simple.
ACS will:
•Hope this approach makes the conflict go away
•Have a high need for approval – think this will make people like
them more
•Give in too quickly, and doesn’t allow discussion which is often
healthy for a group making decisions
When is this style appropriate?
•Accommodating others may cause the group to make a bad
decision, if more discussion isn’t allowed to happen
16. Five Conflict Management Styles
Competition is a style (CS) that people who have power or want more power
often seek to compete with others. Often referred to aggressive.
CS will:
•Try to dominate others
•Use humiliation to control others
•Have low frustration levels
•Blame others, instead of owning
the issues
When is style appropriate?
•Not always wrong to compete, if you know you aren’t wrong
•Also, if group members are suggesting something illegal or inappropriate
•Or, member keeps others in the group from destructive or inappropriate
behavior
17. Five Conflict Management Styles
Compromise ‘the big C’ (CS) is style that
attempts to find a middle ground – a solution
that meets all needs.
Issues:
•You win…I win, is the best case, however at
times nobody gets what they want.
•Or, some lose and some win, which is
expected…like a democracy. The majority win.
•What can happen to the minority?
18. Five Conflict Management Styles
Collaboration is a style (COS) where group
members work side-by-side, rather than going
after power, control, or winner takes all.
COS will:
•View conflict has something that needs to
be resolved, rather than a game where
people win or lose.
•COS leave personal grievances aside.
Works best:
•With a culturally diverse group
•When group has the time to take to work through discussion, and looking
all solutions to make sure everyone is happy with decision
20. Dealing with Difficult People
Crazy - Makers
Passive Aggressive – is a style where
individuals appear passive on the surface
but are actually acting out anger in a subtle,
indirect, or behind the scenes way.
PA will:
•Mutter to themselves
•Use facial expressions that don’t’ match
•Deny there is a problem
•Become alienated from those around them
PA believe:
•They are weak and resentful, so I sabotage, frustrate and disrupt.
•I will appear cooperative but I’m not.
21. Dealing with Difficult Members
Recognizing Crazy maker Behavior
• Surprise you with requests
• Pressure to do something when you’re unsure
• Use relationships as leverage
• Isolate you from support
• Shift expectations and moods
22. Guidelines for Creating and Sustaining Healthy
Climates
• Learn to recognize and deal with Crazymakers
• Try to determine the communication conflict style of your
group members.
• Actively use communication to build climates
• Accept and confirm others
• Respect diversity in relationships
Just as we should respect others, you need to respect,
affirm, and assert yourself!
• Affirm and assert yourself
• Respond constructively to criticism
23. Crazy makers can be managed
Don’t expect them to respond to feelings –
Use statements that are factual, not emotional.
Don’t let them spoil you day – One needs to emotionally
separate their identity and self-esteem from their
negative behavior – Don’t take it personally!
Manage yourself in their presence
• Monitor your physical and nonverbal responses.
• Stay neutral – don’t show emotions show in your tone
of voice, facial expressions or gestures.
• Don’t give them the “power.”
24. Crazymakers can be managed
Manage and communicate expectations
• Don’t expect them to behave as you do.
• Be clear with them about your expectations.
Slow them Down – Tell them “You will get back to
them,” or “You don’t have all the information you
need to make a decisions.”
Ask lot’s of questions – This will help you sort out their
demands and determine what they want.
31. It is a matter of perspective
• What do you see in the picture?
• Some people see an eagle and a beaver, and
other things.
Questions:
• Why do some people see an young or old woman, beaver, or
eagle?
• Is there a right way to see them?
• How did you feel about those who saw it differently? The
same?
• Was there ever a time when you saw something one way and
some else saw it differently?
32. Conflict – can be a matter of perspective
• Two people can look at the same picture and
see something different without either being
wrong, how might this affect a conflict?
• If something is more serious such as if
someone is pro life or pro choice, is there
right or wrong?
• What if each person sees the situation a
different way? How can they figure out a
resolution to the conflict if they are both
right?
34. What did the blind men see?
• The moral of the story is that each one of us sees things exclusively within one’s
point of view. We should also try to understand other people’s points of view.
This will enable us to get a proper perspective on different situations and events.
35. Chapter 8
Encourage Supportive Communication
Different types of communication create supportive
and defensive climates in personal relationships.
Interpersonal climates occur on a continuum
confirming to disconfirming.
Confirming messages recognize that another person
exists, acknowledge that another matters to us, and
endorse what we believe is true.
Disconfirming messages deny the person’s existence,
indicate the other person does not matter to us, and
reject another person’s feelings or thoughts.
36. Rewind - Say it better!
Disconfirming vs. confirming
Change evaluation to description
You’re acting very immaturely.
Example:“I notice that you are getting upset by this situation.”
Change certainty to provisionalism
The right thing to do is crystal clear
Example: “The right thing to do can be difficult to decide.”
Change strategy to spontaneity
Don’t you owe me a favor from when I typed that paper for you last term?
Example, “Remember the term paper I helped you with last term? Do you think you could help me out with one of my own?”
Change control orientation to problem orientation
I think we should move where I have the good job offer since I earn a larger salary than you anyway.
Example, “In terms of moving, what decision will make the most sense for us in terms of our financial position as well as our
relationship?
Change neutrality to empathy
I can’t believe you got yourself into such a dumb predicament.
Example, “This is tricky situation. Let’s see what we can do to help you address it.”
Change superiority to equality
I don’t want to get involved in your disagreement.
Example, “I can see where you’re coming from with this, and based on what you’ve said, it seems like it might be best to
talk with Susan directly about this issue.”
38. Respond Constructively to
Criticism
Refusing to accept criticism is likely to erect barriers or
affect job performance reviews.
Seek more information - asking questions, paraphrasing what you have
heard to reduce tension.
Consider the criticism thoughtfully – Is it valid?
If you decide the criticism is valid, consider whether you want to
change how you act.
Thank the person who offered the criticism – sometimes is disarming
and keeps the door open for communication in the future.
Sometimes people are just difficult to deal with. They can be: rude,
inconsiderate, or just crazymakers. This calls for you to protect
yourself.
45. GROUPTHINK
“How could we have been so stupid?”
Q: Who knows where that quote came from?
46. GROUPTHINK
A: John F. Kennedy’s response to his and his advisers
decision to invade the Bay of Pigs.
The decision making process of this event and others,
such as:
• Watergate, the crash of flight 173, and the Monica
scandal have been studied and identified as
Groupthink
Q: Why did JFK think their actions were stupid. He and
his advisors were competent and intelligent?
47. GROUPTHINK
Q: How many of you avoid situations that
might involve conflict?
Most people do not like conflict
Groupthink is the absence of conflict
Group members go along with the other
group members (because they are afraid
of authority or of making waves)
Conflict provides different
ideas and points of view that Group members close themselves off to
if shared and discussed can input from those outside the group
led to greater ideas and
ultimately a better end. Group members become paralyzed and
unable to see the errors of their ways
To avoid Groupthink allow some
conflict…you’ll feel better in the end

• Steve Jobs co-founded Apple Computers with Stephen Wozniak.
Under his guidance
• The company pioneered a series of revolutionary technologies,
including the iPhone and iPad.
Greatest Traits:
1) The consummate salesman
• The most visible element of Jobs’s success was his ability to
convince people that they absolutely had to have whatever it was
that he had to offer.
2) The incredible judge of consumer behavior
• Other companies do focus groups to ask what customers want. That
never worked for Steve Jobs, because he knew what people wanted
long before they themselves knew.
3) The perfectionist
• Attention to detail has long been a hallmark of Apple’s products and
much of that can be attributed to the relentless focus of Steve Jobs.
Jobs pushed himself hard and everyone around him hard.
• The result was that workers were pushed to deliver things that they
themselves didn’t think possible.
70. Authoritian Leadership
• Adolf Hitler was extremely authoritarian. He required the population of the
Third Reich to accept everything that he said as absolute law, and was able
to impose a death sentence on anyone who failed to do so. Hitler was
obsessed with being in control, and with being the alpha male in a rigid male
dominance hierarchy.[12]
• Martha Stewart constructed her empire through her own special attention to
every detail. She was meticulous, demanding, thorough and scrupulous. She
flourished in her ventures and in using her authoritarian leadership style. [13]
71. Democratic Leadership
Consensus Takers - Leader gets input from
everyone – Bill Clinton an example – Polled all and
then made a decision.
Other example - Dwight D. Eisenhower
•Eisenhower was one of America's greatest
military commanders and the thirty-fourth
President of the United States.
72. Autocratic Leadership
• Autocratic leadership style works well if the leader is competent and
knowledgeable enough to decide about each and everything.
• Authoritative is considered one of the most effective leadership styles in
case there is some emergency and quick decisions need to be taken.
• Bill Gates adopted this style and has steered Microsoft toward great
success. According to Bill Gates, he had a vision when he took reins of the
company and then used all the resources available to make that vision a
reality.
• In the personal computer workplace, many operating conditions call for
urgent action, making this style of leadership effective. While Gates does
not exhibit this style consistently, his success can be judged by his
decision making process and the growth of the computer industry in the
world.[1
