How do you handle conflict? Are you as cool as a cucumber or are you the greatest champ? Be honest! Which method works best?

  1. I usually handle conflicts well; however, I am not always perfect if my emotions run high. I think about what I will say and how my wording can affect the outcome of the conflict. I actively listen to the other person and wait until they are finished before I respond. If I see the conflict is going nowhere, I suggest we agree to disagree. As long as we both feel heard and understand where the other person is coming from, it's okay to have differing opinions.

  2. I have two ways to handle conflict, I will either back off and take time to think or I will answer in the heat of the moment. However, I am actively working on doing the first more. I have learned that when you speak when you are upset the words that we usually say can bring more harm .

  3. I've never was the type to ever get into fist fights, but I have been involved in some screaming matches and I'm glad I have grown from that and can be mad but not show it, I will simply talk about it or take a couple deep breaths and walk away before I say something I will later regret.

  4. Growing up I had a real bad temper and found myself in a lot of fights. I had a short fuse and was ready to snap anytime I felt threaten. Until an SRO from middle school had a talk with me and made me realize I need to channel my anger into something positive. Thats how I ended up getting into sports. Now a days I'm cool as a cucumber because I know everything, I have worked for up to this point is not worth my career. I have learned how to deescalate situations and avoid putting myself in bad situations,

  5. The way that I handled conflict depends on the situation. Sometimes I can just not care, sometimes I can be very emotional and strong about my feelings but I am always at opposite ends, never in the middle. If it is a situation that I am emotionally exhausted with I just mentally check out. I don't entertain the conversation, I don't want to talk about it, I just don't care. On the opposite side, if it is something I care about, I will have to speak my side and DON'T interrupt me at all, DON'T try to talk over me because then all I see is red. It's definitely something I need to work on and I have been trying to work on it, but we all have growing that we need to do and I am still growing.

  6. I tend to handle conflicting situations with an understanding that we all have misunderstandings and what not. I do my best to get the situation clarified and see where the err was between me and whoever it is. There are times where if I'm passionate about what the issue is, I may be more voiced than other situations. I still try to maintain a non-threatening demeanor.

  7. I don't think that I handle conflict very well. I often find a way to blame myself and I am the nonconfrontational type, so I keep everything inside and just hope with time that everything solves itself.
