Practice C.O.N.F.L.I.C.T. Technique
SCENARIO 1 – Team member Arguments
You are the supervisor of your department and have just returned from a family vacation. The minute you get to work, team members come to you telling you there were several arguments in the department while you were on vacation. Three employees have been involved in a continued argument over an assignment they’re working on and have been taking their stress out on each other (they used to be good friends). What started out at as just talking about the situation, has grown into a continued argument, with no resolution in sight.
The 3 employees perform a vital function on your team and since the disagreements started a month ago, they haven’t been fulfilling their job requirements. Productivity is going down and the conflict is taking its toll on the other team members.
1. Using the C.O.N.F.L.I.C.T technique, what is the first thing you would do? 2. What parts of C.O.N.F.L.I.C.T. ™ will you use, and why? 3. What are the specific steps will you take to address this situation long-term?

Practice C.O.N.F.L.I.C.T. Technique SCENARIO 2 - But You Never Told Me
As supervisor, you are conducting the annual performance evaluations for your department. You are meeting with one team member and you express that he/she is doing good work, and is professional and courteous to co-workers. You also indicate that there are some areas of improvement needed including: taking too much time for lunch (more than allotted time), coming to work late and leaving early. The team member is surprised and says that these things were never a problem before, so why are they now? The team member also tells you that she/he stays later if he/she is late for work.
You explain that these issues have been discussed with the entire team in past staff meetings – the topics of being punctual, and not abusing flexible scheduling in the department, and thought your message was clear. The team member storms out of the performance evaluation saying how unfair you are.
