Conflict
Vinay Kumar; Vidisha Garg 2
Who finds it first? Where does it start?
Who cares to resolve it? How does it end?

How you handle conflict can determine what you become?

Handling!?
Vinay Kumar; Vidisha Garg 5
Ask yourself: How intense is the conflict? Have you explored cooperation as an option? Are you co-working towards a solution or are you prescribing a solution? Are you becoming a lapdog?

Stress
• Stress is
– unpleasant psychological process that occurs in
response to environmental pressures
– more likely to occur when individuals encounter
a situation whose outcome is important but
uncertain
– not always negatively related to performance
(Recall Yerkes-Dodson Rule)

For discussion
• How often have you felt uncomfortable? Have you shied away from
opportunities to feel so?
• How often have you found yourself on the wrong side of a conflict? If it was
not many times, was it because you habitually found faults with others?
• How often have you tried to understand how others define you?
• How often have you made convenient independent decisions as opposed to
working with the group to arrive at decisions?
