The Flight Response (from Confronting Workplace Conflict™ for Managers)
When we encounter conflict with co-workers, many times we get stressed out and we go into flight mode. When a problem causes me to take “Flight”, I typically do it because I’m afraid that I’ll upset someone and hurt that relationship. Simply put… I’m afraid they won’t like me. But here’s the rub. If I don’t act, the problem won’t go away, it will affect my work, the productivity of other team members and a whole lot more.
The Freeze Response (from Confronting Workplace Conflict™ for Managers)
It’s not uncommon for people to simply “freeze up” when another person tries to steamroll the situation. Yet, moments later we want to kick ourselves because we now know what we should have said - only it’s too late. At the same time, we think we’ll say the wrong thing and the person will get even more upset.

Most of us have responded poorly to an emotional trigger at one time or another. Usually we realize after the fact that our response didn’t help matters. It is common for us to get caught in patterns or cycles (Flight) of poor responses to conflict triggers with people in our families, with our friends and with people at work. Using a Flight response may feel good in the short-term, but conflicts seldom resolve successfully when we avoid them.
