Conflict resolution style

Through completing the conflict resolution survey I found that I have a tendency to compromise during conflict. This is nothing new to me as I find that I do this quite often. Not wanting to step on other people's toes, I will make decisions for the benefit of others which therefore puts my own needs to the side.

However the role of TL has definitely made me more aware of this and the need to change this strategy when dealing with staff, parents and the community. This is not something that will happen overnight and may never completely go away. Yet by being more aware of this I will hopefully begin to deal with such situations by taking on a more collaborative and accommodating approach which will allow both sides to benefit and neither side need compromise their own ideas and beliefs.
