Episode 8 - Provocations, disputes, conflicts

As long as there are people, there is quarrel. For all the
professionalism we strive for, the workplace offers manifold
opportunities for provocations, disputes and conflicts. Many
conflicts are not only about differences in opinion, but are
overlaid with offenses and injuries which affect the relationship.
But always giving in just for the sake of harmony can lead to
massive psychological disorders over time. On the other hand, it
does not make sense to react to every provocation or disagreement
with a quarrel or fight. This episode addresses the following
questions: - How can I deal with conflict? What options do I have?
- What circumstances are likely to promote conflict? What is a good
conflict culture? - How far should I go? What should I do if the
conflict escalates? If you would like to delve deeper into the
complex topic of conflicts, I recommend studying Glasl's model of
conflict escalation. I am looking forward to your suggestions,
