Effective Communication and Conflict

August 2, 2014

This week assignment deals with communicating effective with conflict. Conflict can be productive or unproductive but referrable productive. We as professional educators should always strive to communicate with a calmness and politeless with parents, children, and colleagues at all times regardless what's the situation. Furthermore I have learned how to demonstrate productive communication with conflict by utilizing the techniques Nonviolent Communication(NVC) and the 3Rs by Magda Gebger.

The conflict I am going to share this week is regarding my sister and her immediate supersvior. The conflict was trying to add more workload to my sister which she feels she has extended workload already. My sister feels the supersvior doesn't want to take responsibility as the led DON but desires a workload lite as possible for herself. There conflict is unproductive because the executive director of corporal and the corporal nurse never allow them to discuss the situation with both parties at hand to see how they can what's the conflict all about and reslove the conflict among each other; therefore the conflict never gets resolve. And through the unproductive conflict the problem just brew and brew where it has escalated with outburst and disrespect among the two ladies.

First strategy I think both of them could benefit from is Nonviolent Communication (NVC). By using NVC allows each person involve be considered and compassionated towards each other. This would have allowed no screaming and yelling amongst the executive directors and themselves. They could have spoken with politeness and calmness also respect so the problem could have been resloved. Furthermore it will allow both parties at hand to listen to the other person needs versus their on selfishness needs.

The second strategy I think both of them could benefit from using the 3Rs. By using the 3Rs it will allow every person involve to be considered and compassionated so each one can communicate effectively. Furthermore both of them could learn to listen and communicate with a calmeness and respect. This allows them to build and produce a healthy relationship that would become everlasting.
