Importance Of Employing Non Lethal Conflict Resolution

By Marsha Klein


Scarce resources are the real causes of disputes and conflicts in our modern day societies. At no point in life will resources meet the rising demand and hunt for it and this is equal to stating that conflicts will always arise. Looking for an appropriate way to handle these disputes is a noble course in salvaging the parties involved. Non lethal conflict resolution methods should always be employed and promoted.

The crucial means of agreement is reaching into a consensus and when this is met then the conflicting parties will have reach to terms with each other. In a few for disputing states to come into an agreement compassion must be observed by both states as they try to settle. However, this means has its limitations of taking much longer time.

Struggle is a tactic that works by giving priority to the demands of one state over those of the rivalry. It is therefore a significant factor to force some works where the disagreement is likely to go on for over a long period and time. Struggling does not find out the root cause of the problem, thus raising the possibility of the conflict to recur.

The phrase compromise is a policy that is tries to find out a realistic solution to a disagreement by pronouncing a common position. Through this way, both parties are required to let out some of their demands for a solution to be arrived at. This strategy does not visage the underlying causes a disagreement. Since the opponents relinquish some of the subject matter, they may later become discontented.

Another strategy is encouraging one party to fully let go of their interests. This party seeks to accommodate the other party by embracing their interests in the expense of their own. This is the smoothing approach or accommodating strategy. This compromising party may have realized that they need time or have understood what the other opposing party is requesting is more important to them.

Another approach is just for one party to give up and walk out. The cause of the conflict is ignored with the hope that this disagreement ends. Mostly applied when urgent matters are given priorities by the party walking out. Withdrawal strategy is the name given do describe this technique. Nonetheless, this may end up creating more intense problems in an organization.

A rather interesting approach to solving an issue is by mere dictatorial. A party with either more experience or large stakes at hand does not give a chance to the minor party to state their problem statement. They decide the fate of the conflict by providing a solution which should be followed by the other party without questioning it. It is mostly seen in diagonal relationships in a business organization. For instance, between a manager and a junior employee.

Effective communication should be up held in all occasions for disputes to be resolved amicably. It is significant that the conflicting parties put in mind the subject of the real issue and always use compassion as they way out options and settle the disputes. Knowledge is power, and therefore practicing to always use non lethal conflict resolution methodology should at all times be upheld.
