When was the last time you paused to observe what was your stance in the face of conflict resolution?

We SHIFT our conflict resolution stance between:

• Responsible: we have the tacit/explicit authority and are indeed responsible for the conflict resolution
• Co-responsible: we consent to share the resolution with the other people involved in the conflict
• Collaborator: we consent to help in the solution but the responsibility lies on someone else
• Observer: our role is only to be an onlooker of the conflict

DEPENDING on the:

• Tacit/explicit responsibility
• Level of co-dependency/emotional attachment to the subject

But which stance shall we observe?

As the list shows we must SHIFT from a responsible to a co-responsible to a collaborator to an observer stance.

Any movement in the opposite direction will be experienced as a mental and emotional overload and as a controlling attitude.
