Quick tip about conflict management in your organization:

Sometimes you’ll have people in your organization that will try to sabotage you by starting up drama, creating conflict, stealing your ideas (concepts) or betraying your trust. The important thing to remember is to always maintain Emotional Control. Think before you confront these people with rational logic and facts. Don’t get caught up with all the emotional pain or anger they have caused you.

If you can confront this person, then discuss these issues in a non-threatening manner. State the facts first and allow that person to know you are open-minded to hear their side of the story. Discuss the situation with possible solutions.

You have options:

1) Forgive and Resolve- It was all a misunderstanding. Communication is the key.
2) Continue the partnership with reservations.
3) Terminate the partnership if the behavior continues.

Focus on the goal and not the emotion. Your goal is to work in a productive, happy working environment. Take control of the situation, and don’t allow other people to control your experiences in your job satisfaction. You can’t control if people steal your ideas (information), copy your style, gossip about you, or betray your trust. However, you can control your emotions on how these people affect you as a person and as a professional. Don’t get caught up with all the drama. The truth comes out and people always find out the true details later.

Life has a way of making these things work out. If this Trouble Maker(s) continues betraying people, then it will catch up to her/him. Other people will start to see a pattern with these types of conflicting personalities; thus, they will want to stay away from these sabotaging people. Keep focusing on your success in your personal and professional life. Don’t give these people your energy any more, because it will all come around. Remember to learn your lessons, forgive and let go. Life is too short to dwell on the past and now it’s time to move forward to the new possibilities of the future. Take control of conflict instead of conflict controlling YOU! The POWER is in your hands, now take it BACK! Stress LESS! Chilling out, Hajii
