How will having a greater knowledge of conflict management styles improve your interaction

within your teams?Having a greater knowledge of conflict management styles will help improve the

interaction with my team by calming and taking control of the situation which would help take

a positive approach to the conflict. I would keep the discussion non-confrontational, and

make sure the focus was on issues rather than anyone on the team. When this is done it

makes it easier to listen to the facts and the issues and to come up with possible solutions

to resolve the conflict.

What have you learned about the importance of cultivating gratitude from this assignment?I learned by having an attitude of gratitude it

can change my life. Cultivating gratitude is about stopping the negativity and looking

towards the positive. It teaches us to focus on what you have and worry less about what you don’t. Once I started this journal I learned

more to appreciate the people around me and what they meant to me. As a result from this I

can see my life having more happiness and having a peaceful and positive attitude.
