It seems that the spouse of a certain district staffer has waaaaaaay too much time on their hands. Is our Cookie Grumpy??
We suspect that they are not amused.
Last time we checked, conflict resolution procedures didn't include sending anonymous mail or creepin' about taking pictures.
Really? REALLY?
Conflict Resolution Tips
Being the community-minded resource we are, we offer these helpful tips to resolve conflict:
- Communication is the key. The personal touch is best. Or pick up the phone. Sending "anonymous" mail and creeping about are neanderthal at best.
- Focus on the present. If you’re holding on to old hurts and resentments, your ability to see the reality of the current situation will be impaired. Tit for tat is so unbecoming.
- Pick your battles. Conflicts can be draining, so it’s important to consider whether the issue is really worthy of your time and energy.
- Be willing to forgive. Resolution lies in releasing the urge to punish, which can only adds to our injury by further depleting and draining our lives.
- Know when to let something go. If you can’t come to an agreement, agree to disagree. You can choose to disengage and move on.
