Last week, we discussed communication, which is the first of the four C's of a conflict management model I developed in 2023. Today, we'll discuss the second C, curiosity.

One reason conflict can be so difficult is that we think it is our job to win other people over to our perspective. The concept of curiosity challenges this perspective. What if there is another perspective out there that can help us resolve this conflict? What if we could resolve this as a win-win rather than a win-lose or a compromise?

Today's tips are:
1 - Table your agenda
2 - Ask questions
3 - Listen

Our goal is to connect you to leaders and leadership principles from all sectors.

We want your feedback! Give us a 5-star review if you like what you hear, and leave a comment. We also want to know what you want to hear about when it comes to leadership! Email us at info@jcleadershipconsulting.com
