Conflicted About Conflicts?

Conflicts are never fun but most of us are also not taught how to deal with it, how to safely engage with it, how to identify an ego butting in and derailing relationships. So, we talk about the Indian socio-cultural context in which our misguided understanding of conflicts often lives, and ways in which we can humanly respond. We then look at ways to build range in responding to conflict, what repair looks like and how to identify between healthy, intellectual conflict and corrosive interpersonal conflict.(00:00) Introduction(02: 23) Cultural context for conflict(02:50) Hierarchy(04:17) Saving face(07:03) Collectivist society(08:16) Intergenerational cycles (09:59) External mediators in conflict(12.23) Generationally different conflict styles(15:21) Chapter 2: Conflict responses(17:21) “Fight” response(19:58) “Fawn” response(22:08) “Freeze” response(23:49) “Flight” response(24:46) Chapter 3: Conflict styles (25:25) Avoiding (27:23) Accommodating(29:11) Competing (31:00) Collaborating(33:29) Compromising (36:58) Chapter 4: How to switch across styles (43:15) Chapter 5: Co-creating conditions for constructive conflict
