That’s My Bonus You’re Messin’ With! (The 'Freeze' Approach to Conflict)
Most of us don't like conflict! Some of us tend to 'freeze' when we are faced with situations that force us deal with tension in the workplace. It's important to remember that each of us is responsible for reacting in ways that will increase the odds for a successful resolution to the conflict.
The Fight Response (from Confronting Workplace Conflict™ for Managers)
It’s pretty obvious…yelling doesn’t help promote a respectful workplace or help make people feel included. It’s the same thing when dealing with conflict. Relationships get damaged, productivity dramatically decreases - people just shut down. Who wants to be yelled at? It’s unfortunate, but those who hit conflict straight on like that usually don’t know a better way to get things done.
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.
