A couple quotes from Yulee Lee at Fuller Youth Institute I wanted to save and share:
“Conflict doesn’t stay where it starts.”
“Collaboration challenges our own preferred ways of working and thinking.”
“Two types of conflict: Content (beliefs, values, goals) and Relational (esteem, control, affiliation). Often these are tied together.” -Paraphrased
“In conflict people often want to be respected. Four ways through conflict: 1- Separate people from problem. 2 – Focus on interests not positions. 3 – Invent options from mutual gains. 4 – Sometimes it’s helpful to use objective expert criteria.”
