Jumping in
from Crafting Solutions to Conflict Hosted by Jane Beddall
In the context of preventing and resolving bad conflict, “jumping in” will typically be a bad idea. Why? Because it is fast. That’s the whole point. Life today both prizes speed and forces it as the world seems to change faster and faster. The problem? Fast serves us well when being chased by a tiger, but not so well in many other situations. When we allow ourselves some time to actually think, with reason, our decisions tend to be better ones. Occasionally, jumping in is exactly the right thing to do in the context of conflict. When there is misinformation. When there is genuine misinterpretation. When an essential piece of information is not yet available, but will be soon. We can jump in to suggest a pause.
