Conflict management for the assistant

Resolving conflicts constructively and confidently

This training is held in German.
Conflicts in the office are natural and commonplace. Instead of swallowing anger and frustration, escalating or being dissatisfied, you can also use conflicts constructively. You are more likely to be successful if you take your own and other people's interests and needs seriously instead of devaluing each other. To this end, the training offers an effective and practical approach to constructive conflict resolution according to M. B. Rosenberg.

Contents

  • The causes of conflicts and how they arise.
  • Basic attitude to conflicts: What type of conflict are you?
  • Dealing with old beliefs and new behavioral possibilities.
  • Clarify your own needs and values.

Self-assertion and understanding

  • Change the perspective: Solutions instead of accusations and blame!
  • Translate spontaneous judgments into understandable interests and needs.
  • The 4 steps of constructive conflict management: observation, feeling, need, request.

  • Not to take accusations and criticism personally, but to recognize the unspoken feelings and needs behind these statements,
  • Formulate requests and wishes clearly without manipulating or threatening,
  • support your counterpart empathically and professionally without getting angry yourself and
  • in the event of conflict, neither to give up your own concerns nor to risk the relationship.
