When you are at work, conflict does come expectedly and unexpectedly, you never know when there will be a conflict, but the only thing you have to do whenever you face a battle is not to make it a big deal and get over it fast as you can so that you can work freely without any things to think in your mind. According to CMA Consulting, here are the things you need to know on how you can get over conflict at work:
1. Make sure to talk to the other person
If you have a conflict with another employee or worker, make sure to settle it already because it is tough to work in a workplace if you have a workmate who is mad with you, it feels heavy to work when you think of things like that and if you are facing conflicts with another worker, make sure to talk about it already and if you need to say sorry if they get offended to what you did or they are not comfortable on how you work, explain your side and say sorry and if you are the one who makes the conflict, tell your side and always say sorry to settle things down and make sure to settle everything is done and clear so that both of you can work calmly and smoothly without thinking of anything.
2. Make sure you listen
Not only are you the one who gets uncomfortable or bothered. That is why you need to listen also on the other side if you want them to listen to you. Listen to what they feel and what they are going to say, ask them how it ended up like that and if everything is evident with the other’s side, that is when you tell everything you feel so that least you and the other side already tackled everything. Make sure to spill everything. All the burdens, anger, and issues should be tackled so there will be no behind topics and you can work freely.
3. Always identify the agreements and disagreements
What are the differences between both sides so it will be easy for the both of you to talk about things and settle and what are the things you both agreed on and practice focusing on the positive only and the things you both decided on and start working calmly and work as a team so that you can work fast and everything will be successful? Do not take everything personally and do everything for the sake of the work, so if you are mad, set aside that one and talk about it so that there will be no problems.
Discuss negative mindset, attitudes, and all, and then say sorry, start changing your behaviour and improve for the better version of yourself, so the other party should do the same. Both parties need to adjust, or both of you will get fired and lose your career because of a very unimportant thing.
