Break the cycle
of conflict
See how you may be adding to the problem, then choose a response that helps break the cycle of conflict.
Focus on impact,
not activity
Don’t just stop at getting the task done. Ask whether the work made the difference it was supposed to make for others.
Help someone
succeed
Understand what the other person is trying to achieve, then give them the support and help they need to succeed.
