In professional life, we are confronted to an uncertain world that is rife with opportunities for contradiction and conflicts.<\/strong>\u00a0Everyone defend their own interests. What some call “good faith” will be regarded as “bad faith” by others.\u00a0 Moreover,\u00a0harmony inside companies is not a natural phenomenon<\/strong>. It is not even desirable, as it can lead to\u00a0<\/strong>conformism<\/em>\u00a0and sterilize innovative ideas. A certain amount of conflict is thus necessary in order to ensure the company’s continuous development.<\/p>\n

DEFINITION OF ‘BALANCED ASSERTIVENESS’<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In this context, balanced assertiveness may be regarded as the\u00a0ideal attitude\u00a0in difficult situations and\/or conflicts.<\/strong>\u00a0It consists in clearly expressing one’s goals while accepting\u00a0contradiction<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0search for compromise<\/em>.\u00a0Balanced assertiveness may thus be defined as the art of expressing one’s feelings, ideas, rights and needs, while respecting others and taking their own desires and goals into account.<\/strong>\u00a0Thus, the practice of assertiveness shall allow\u00a0expressing a\u00a0disagreement<\/em>,\u00a0formulating and facing\u00a0criticism<\/em>,\u00a0daring to\u00a0say “no”<\/em>, or\u00a0resisting\u00a0manipulation attempts<\/em>, without necessarily breaking the relationship.<\/p>\n

In short, good conflict management skills consist in \u00a0the ability to\u00a0base the the relation on trust<\/strong>\u00a0everytime it is possible. However, we will see in the article\u00a0“The Main Attitudes Towards Contradictions and Conflicts”<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that it is clearly not the only way to deal with difficult situations!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
