How to Deal with the #1 Type of Conflict

Conflict is normal for humans on planet earth in the 21st Century as it will be in the next century, and the one after, and all that came before now.

All conflict is only of two forms: external conflicts, those you have with others, or internal conflicts, those within yourself. In these two areas of life where you experience conflict, there are only four kinds of conflict you can experience.

The first is conflict of roles and responsibilities. This is about who’s responsible for the task or the situation, what are the various roles, who has the power or the authority there, whose territory are you in, who has the power, what is the leadership structure, where you and others are within the hierarchy, and so on. This occurs frequently and is most often about power within the system.

The second conflict is one of goals and needs. This pertains to what results we are trying to obtain. What outcome are we trying to achieve? What do people need in the situation? What information is lacking or needs to be clarified? This centers around where people are trying to get to. Most frequently, to manage goals and needs conflicts, information or education is needed. Clarifying where the person or organization is trying to get to is essential.

Third is values and beliefs conflict. This revolves around what people think is important. It’s erupts because of what you value in your life. This has to do with ones’ beliefs about people, fairness, money, relationships, politics, environment, etc. Values and beliefs conflicts are what the vast majority of wars are fought over.

Fourth is the conflict of perceptions or point of view. This is literally the way one person views something compared to how another one does.

Over eighty-percent of all conflict is conflict of perception. Why? Simply–because we are different. We are older, younger, richer, poorer, more educated, less educated, male, female, grew up in different environments, in different parts of the country, liking different hobbies, liking different types of entertainment, and so on.

The most effective way to begin managing conflict of perception is step back, and view the situation from a more detached perspective. Get some mental or physical space. Switch to the perspective of a more neutral observer and you’ll see both sides more clearly.

From this more dissociated position it’s easier to understand the other persons point of view. It is essential to open up and look at situations from another’s perspective.
