Communication in Conflict Resolution
Relating with others in the workplace, as I have come to learn, takes much effort in listening and understanding the colleagues, enough to know how best to respond to issues raised by either one of them. In particular, different employees have varied perceptions of others’ treatment. Therefore, an interaction with one employee could have different consequences if another one was involved, simply because of their differences in personalities. With this in mind, it becomes relatively easy to interact with others with limited chances of interpersonal conflict.
