In such cases, we ourselves welcome the services of a mediator. A neutral, uninvolved person can referee the dialogue and direct it to the most constructive outcomes rather than letting it deteriorate into complete alienation between the parties. By understanding conflict, you will experience better working relationships. You will improve daily interactions and underlying factors that affect the ways in which people relate to each other, especially when dealing with the inevitable issues that arise between creative people. Conflicts can be faced and resolved before they cause significant damage to the relationship.
Conflict is a message that something needs attention.
We are trained from childhood, mostly by example, to avoid, suppress or defend ourselves when in conflict. The result is that the source of the conflict is seldom addressed. The secret is to close your mouth and open your ears. Having been heard, he will be better able to hear what you need to say. You will have established the beginning of an effective dialogue, one which has a good chance of achieving a mutually agreeable solution.
