Going along to get along

Crafting Solutions to Conflict ·

2022/11/10

Going along to get along can be a good idea – sometimes. When you find yourself giving in – accommodating in Thomas-Kilmann theory – too often, you might stop and think about that. Do you not care about the outcome of a decision? Are you afraid to speak your mind? Are you going to be silenced by your own choice to not speak up? Will you become resentful about always being the one to “sacrifice”? These questions are especially important in the context of an ongoing, valued relationship.We can all get

Just last week, I was in a conversation about the key question for a would-be podcaster. Why do you want to do this? I had a clear answer to that question in 2018 during Seth Godin’s podcasting workshop (7 intensive weeks and 35 lessons) and my answer is the same in 2022, on Episode 200. But, I am not the same. I continue to learn from my experiences – and from my podcast guests. There is plenty more to explore in the podcast. I want to help people see a perspective on conflict that is practical

America’s Peacemaker – The Community Relations Service

2022/10/20

Working throughout the United States, The Community Relations Service (CRS) is part of the Department of Justice. And not as well-known a part as it might be. CRS works with communities to prevent and respond to alleged hate crimes based on actual or perceived race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability.CRS calls itself “America’s Peacemaker” for “communities in conflict by mediating disputes and enhancing community capacity to independently

The challenge of unofficial veto power

Crafting Solutions to Conflict ·

2022/10/13

Unofficial veto power is the idea that one person (or, less frequently, a small subset of a group) has the power to stop progress. And that power is not granted to them by the rest of the group, any document, or cultural norm. “Progress” is a broad term, here. It’s allowing the group to make – or even consider—decisions. In some type of rational fashion. It’s abiding by decisions that are made. That veto power can be exerted in a variety of ways: from refusing to participate in the process, to

The book has insights for all sorts of organizations and group. Chris notes that there’s really no such thing as military leadership: it’s all leadership and it’s always dealing with people.You can learn more about Chris’s work at

Queen Elizabeth II as conflict resolver

2022/09/29

Many thought that the Queen was too slow to respond to Diana’s death. When she finally did, she minimized the conflict by speaking eloquently and by nodding her head as Diana’s casket passed by. As a ruling monarch, she received respect routinely and wasn’t expected to make her own demonstrations of it.She made a distinction between family and business with Prince Andrew. Allegations (though denied) and friendships (impossible to deny) led to his expulsion from The Firm, but not the family.Prince

Queen Elizabeth II as conflict preventer

Queen Elizabeth has been widely appreciated for her life of service. Though most family business leaders aren’t royal monarchs, her approach has lessons that many can learn. Among them: she started early in her devotion to service (even before she was head of The Firm); she worked hard; she kept her own counsel; she was engaged with her “customers” and did not think them to be lesser; she had a sense of humor; and she planned her own succession carefully.Do you have comments or suggestions about a

Jay Hughes has spent decades devoted to service to families. Throughout that time, he has been deeply interested in why families flourish – and why they don’t. In our conversation, Jay’s insights include how the Goldilocks principle is essential for the well-being of families. Friends and colleagues created the James R. Hughes, Jr. Foundation, insisting that it bear his name even though his humility made that hard to embrace at first!The Foundation’s Mission: “Rooted in Jay Hughes’ landmark Five

Embracing thegood type of conflict. Last time, I talked about the process. This time, the focus is on the results. One possible result is a greater acceptance of the fact that change is happening all the time – and that we would do well to notice it and adapt more frequently.

TKI – the compromising mode plus a wrap-up

Crafting Solutions to Conflict ·

2022/08/11

Compromising appears right in the middle of an imaginary image of two axes showing degrees of assertiveness and cooperativeness because it is moderate, not extreme, with regard to both of those characteristics. Compromising gives partial satisfaction to both parties. It may mean splitting the difference between two ideal outcomes or seeking a quick middle-ground way to reach an agreement. Less work than collaborating, and less satisfaction, too. It might be 50/50 or some other distribution. When

2022/07/28

The TKI describes five different approaches to conflict. And those five are always available to each of us. They are accommodating, avoiding, collaborating, competing, and compromising. Visualize a vertical axis of assertiveness, the extent to which someone tries to satisfy their own needs. Along the horizontal axis, the degree of cooperativeness is shown: that is the extent to which a person tries to satisfy the other person’s needs. Avoiding appears on the bottom right of the image – very low on

The TKI describes five different approaches to conflict. And those five are always available to each of us. They are accommodating, avoiding, collaborating, competing, and compromising. Competing is power-driven, with a focus on one’s own needs at the expense of the other person’s. Accommodating is the polar opposite: putting someone else’s needs above one’s own. Neither is always the right approach, nor always the wrong one. The value of the TKI is helping you understand which modes you tend to

Choosing how much conflict to address

Making choices about just how much conflict to address can lead to better outcomes than stopping before you start or setting up for a sense of failure. We can feel overwhelmed -- and fearful -- about estate planning, as my guest last time, Paul Hood, discussed. An internal conflict. It helps to recognize that it will take time and that changes can be made down the road. And almost any decision is better than none. Doing nothing invites conflict in your surviving family.
