- Recognize that conflict arises from the interplay of opposing forces. Rather than viewing conflict as inherently negative, we can perceive it as a natural aspect of life's unfolding dance. In the context of organizations, acknowledging and accepting the diversity of viewpoints and interests can pave the way for constructive dialogue and innovative solutions.
- Raise inner stillness and clarity to observe our thoughts, emotions, and reactions without being swept away by them. This self-awareness enables us to respond to conflicts from a place of centeredness and authenticity, fostering deeper understanding and connection with others.
- Rehearse compassionate communication rooted in honesty and empathy rather than engaging in blame, defensiveness, or manipulation. By listening deeply to others' perspectives and expressing ourselves with clarity and vulnerability, we create a space for mutual respect and understanding to flourish.
- Remember the impermanent nature of all things; welcome the change with open arms. In the context of conflicts within organizations, this entails a willingness to adapt, evolve, and transcend rigid positions or patterns.
