    6 step process
    S OURCE (what is the conflict)
    T IME & PLACE (choose best time & neutral place)
    A MICABLE APPROACH
    B EHAVIOR (summary of behavior beginning with 'I')
    E MOTION (because of this behavior I felt.... Never say 'You did...")
    N EED (what do I need to end this conflict: "I need You to....")
    Thank you for this which is exactly what I needed!

    do not forget to say that conflict starts smaller but grow bigger than one can imagine. so conflict become an opportunity for new constructive resolutions when it treated well as soon as possible. however, it becomes a real fight when concerned parties neglect it and keep silence like nothing is happening. pls, handle your conflict before it handles you.

      Then, you have got another conflict, why do you surround of this people? Somtimes you have to meet them at work and there is no other possibility but even for them, by using this kind of approach you are giving example, and increasing your self respect for behaving as you think you have to.

    Thank you I really like this. I think this will help me. I do like this process, I think it is a good tool to have in your bag. I'm going to start putting it to a test to see how this plays out in my life and how I can conclude certain conflicts. I find it tasteless that many on here try to comment with humor which I find funny at times but this should be taken seriously people have a hard time dealing with conflict. This is a greet asset to have maybe start creating good environments and help change home/work atmospheres.

  • @anshulgoel1940

    After reading the comments I think that people don't really understand the dynamics of conflict resolution. What jennie has covered should be taken as principles rather than a methodology. The principles can take many forms depending upon your beliefs, values, needs or objectives. There are different types of conflicts and different reasons of conflict. This is a good summary of the most common emotions in play and a good approach to solve them.

    Hi Jennie! I am doing a mock training session for a class I'm taking to get my HR certificate and my group decided to train people on conflict management. We are adapting your STABEN model because it's really great, but we changed the acronym to make a more sense. We turned it into an actual word - STRIFE. S and T remain the same, but R = Respect - Be respectful in your approach, I = Identify - Identify specific behaviour, F = Feelings - Explain how the behaviour makes you feel, and E = Essentials - What is essential to resolving the conflict?
    Just thought I would let you know - it makes way more sense than STABEN which, if you don't pronounce it with a long A, sounds like "stab 'em".

    Great summary of people's reactions to conflict and how to deal with it. =) I'm thinking though that this depends a lot on culture. I'm from Sweden, where conflict is usually avoided (some kind of fear of confrontation), whilst in South America (where I live) fear is usually manifested through hard confrontation. =)
    I've heard similar differences exist between northern and southern USA, but that information I've gotten only from books. Have no idea how true that is.

      Telling a person to say something nice is an easy to fail attempt at the inner work you need to do before discussing the conflict with them. The inner work is to remember that this person is not an enemy. Remember the good qualities of the person. It is not even necessary to say it to them though probably much appreciated

    • @EuphoniaPooch
      @EuphoniaPooch 7 років тому +4

      That is a great point. I think one common tip people would give is to not hide your feelings per say, but to claim them and describe them instead of using them as a weapon. For example, " You don't care! " vs " I feel like you don't care! ". One is definitive and accusatory. You've portrayed the other person. They'll be defensive about the label you've stuck on them. The second, you've only represented your own emotions. This still might be upsetting to hear but it's still the complete truth ( assuming you haven't just said it to make them mad ) and not so much an attack.

    I am handling someone who is the eye of HR then at the time that you want to change her schedule. Then she would say, no you cant change my schedule co'z I was task by the HR to be at that scheduled. Then you knew that, that person has a bad record in his previous Supervisors who handled her, then here comes the HR trusted her to be her eyes. Then that eye tells everything regarding about the operations of your area. Then me as his supervisor would probably feel uncomfortable. I felt that my rights are already taken out from me because what I knew is I need to solve any problem before it reach to the higher management. If it reach to higher management they could say that I'm not doing my job well and it makes me feel discourage because of it. What should I do?

    I found out that if there is no gender based approach to the job sharing, such conflicts arise, if woman habitually does house work and husband helps her when he is free, couple may not dispute because the wife already knows her role of work. But when wife does regard herself as equal to the husband on terms of job doing, then this causes constant dispute and jealousy.

    That sounds great but about step time "Time and Place" in certain situations you don't always have the time to resolve the issue at a later time as the person is upset and is not going to say sure lets set up a good time where we can sit by the fire place and cook marshmallows? Specially at work or in a public place with someone you just met or on a social site where you need to respond quickly or there will be not change for resolution. Another question is how do you come up with all the steps right away on the spot because I think a litter slow and respond a little slow. The good thing is when you think before you speak it tends to be more clear it's just I am slow at thinking then responding fast like some people.

    Dr. Byrne:
    With the dishes example, it is just as easy to say: "Honey, I don't feel well tonight, would you please help me with some of the dishes, I already washed the pots & pans, all you have to do is finish up with few dishes". That works in my family. If I know I am a hero to help my wife, esp. she said she didn't feel well . (Men is often plays the protective role). If I only do half of the dishes, I feel it is doable (not a drag).
    After I finished, if my wife came over and gave me a hug or a kiss and said: I really appreciate you. I will make special a dish you like next week (or tomorrow).
    -- Don't mention that "I do 5 dishes. Or worse to compare, I did 5 nights of dishes, and you only did 2 nights of dishes - that is (to a man) like putting a boxing glove to ready for a fight. The man might be unclogging the sink or doing something for the house - he is not doing washing dishes . You have other good principles, but didn't work quite well with the example between the perspective of men and women.

    What about when you ask someone several times not to do something an they continue to do it an they say you trip over small stuff

    Mrs. Byrne, hello! My name is Lawrence. I wanted to know if I can use your concept as a teaching material. I really like the way you built the steps into an acronym and explained everything in a way people can relate. Your a rockstar! Learning constructive conflict resolution is as important as learning how to walk. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

    I got banned or whatever he did, by a guy who produces sports content, and after he banned me or hid me or whatever it was, I now cannot view any video anywhere on UA-cam. My goodness, he didn't like my comment on something he said, and now I am banned on youtube generally? That seems extreme. How do I deal with this?

    Great tips. Love the Staben concept. But why are you arguing over doing the dishes. Do you split the yard work with your husband? e.g mow the lawn, trim the trees, pull out the weeds, shovel the snow, power-wash the yard etc.
