Here's how you can enhance conflict resolution with constructive feedback.

Don't just listen to needs, reflect them back. Paraphrase what you hear the other person saying about their needs and concerns. This ensures you've understood correctly and demonstrates empathy. For example, "It sounds like you need more clarity on your responsibilities in this project."

Find something positive to say about the situation or the person's efforts before addressing the issue. This creates a more balanced and less threatening atmosphere for receiving constructive feedback.

Use the "Situation-Behavior-Impact" (SBI) model. Describe the specific situation, the behavior you observed, and the impact it had. For example, "In yesterday's meeting (Situation), when you interrupted your colleague (Behavior), it made it difficult for them to finish their thought and delayed our decision-making (Impact)."

Encouraging dialogue is crucial in enhancing conflict resolution. By inviting others to share their thoughts and suggestions, you create a collaborative environment where misunderstandings can be clarified. This approach empowers individuals to take ownership of finding solutions and promotes a shift from confrontational to collaborative dynamics. Effective dialogue fosters understanding, trust, and ultimately leads to constructive conflict resolution.

Don't just ask questions; create a structured dialogue. Use a collaborative problem-solving framework like "Appreciative Inquiry." This approach focuses on identifying what's working well and building on those strengths to address the conflict.

Fortune lies in the follow-up Early on, I thought feedback fixed conflict like a magic trick, and, problem solved! But NOPE, not so fast. Without following up, my feedback disappeared and issues just hung around. You can consider feedback like a seed. You gotta water it to see results. So, I started quick check-ins after giving feedback. Just a casual "Hey, let's chat next week and see how things are going" made a huge difference. It showed I cared about fixing the issue, not just pointing it out. It kept everyone on track with making changes. Conflicts vanished faster than I thought, and working together became way smoother.
