Study Notes

Conflict Management and Mentoring in the Workplace

Mentoring involves a more experienced manager providing career advice and leadership development to a less experienced protégé.
Conflict arises when there is disagreement and opposition, often stemming from unmet expectations in the psychological contract.
Failure to communicate expectations and assuming others have the same expectations can lead to conflict, which can be functional or dysfunctional.
Conflict management styles include avoiding, accommodating, forcing, negotiating, and collaborating, each with its advantages and disadvantages.
Avoiding conflict style maintains relationships but lacks resolution, best for trivial conflicts or when time is short.
Accommodating conflict style maintains relationships but may be counterproductive, best for situations where maintaining the relationship is a priority.
Forcing conflict style can lead to better decisions if the forcer is correct but overuse can lead to hostility, best for urgent conflict resolution.
Negotiating conflict style, also known as compromising, can lead to quick resolution but may result in subpar decisions, best for complex issues with equal power parties.
Collaborating conflict style, also known as problem-solving, seeks joint resolution with the best solution for all, time-consuming but can lead to the best solution.
The initiating conflict resolution model involves planning a Behavior, Consequence, and Feeling (BCF) statement, presenting it, offering alternative resolutions, and making an agreement for change.
The BCF model describes conflicts in terms of behavior, consequences, and feelings, and should not include judgments, threats, or solutions.
Initiating conflict resolution is a structured approach involving BCF statements and seeking alternative resolutions to reach an agreement for change.
