What do you do if active listening isn't helping resolve conflicts?

If active listening isn't resolving conflicts, you might need to try a different approach. Consider facilitating a structured dialogue, seeking mediation from a neutral party, or exploring alternative conflict resolution techniques such as compromise or collaborative problem-solving. Sometimes, conflicts require creative solutions beyond just listening.

The best way to resolve any conflict is to communicate assertively, aggression makes the issue worse and adds on to negativity and does not help one find solutions. The activation of the emotional brain hinders us to think rationally and logically. Thus using "I" Statements and assertively communicating how you felt is helpful Also conflicts need not be resolved immediately after they happened, giving time off for people to get back to their normal state, analyse and then discuss the conflict is also an effective way of resolving conflicts

If both people are actively listening then the conversation will not be overly heated or turn violent. All important conversations have some heat or neither one is passionate about their conversation. If someone does not show any emotions through their body language or words through the conversation then politely make your departue or discuss something else you both are working on or thinking about. There is no need to contine talking to someone about a subject if someone is not actively listening. Sometimes what they need at that moment has nothing to do with the subject you want to discuss. They may need to discuss something else they have on their mind. As leaders we need to be open minded to discuss any thing anyone else desires.

Assessing emotions can help the mediator to identify the root causes of negative/positive emotions. Negative emotions usually happen when someone doesn't meet their expectations. It is important to have a moment of self talk in a private space so that they can figure out why they didn't meet expectations on their own. It is also important for people to vent their emotions.

When active listening isn’t helping a few things need to happen. We need to clarify what terms actually mean to the other party. Though we may say the same words, they can mean something entirely different to the other party. Also, be ok with letting it rest. Often our resolutions just isn’t working at that moment. But they work. So if it’s a matter where it can wait let it. If not, bring in a meditator without attachment to either party, reach a compromise and come back later.
