Online conflict resolution


 

开云体育

Dear all,

I am new to this great group and would like to ask you for your support:

?

-????????? What are your experiences with doing conflict resolution between 3 people?

-????????? Do’s and don’ts in a remote setting? Pitfalls of the technology?

-????????? Anything specific I need to pay heed to? (I intend to use zoom)

?

(context: 2 employees who don’t get along well to a degree, that both felt like quitting their job; manager whom both perceive as not being present and decisive enough. I assume that part of the conflict stems from a vacuum of direction that one of the employees tries to fill in by controlling the other).

Hi Ruth,?

I’m also new to this group, long time art of hosting practitioner and certified conflict mediator. I have successfully mediated several conflicts online. I always speak to the parties individually first. Here is a?? which I have adapted for online mediations.?

It works best if you are quite strict with it. As a mediator, you are a lot more directive than a host and your main job is to slow down the conversation so both parties can hear each other, which means you need to sometimes interrupt, reframe toxic statements, sometimes ask the other person to reflect back what they heard etc. Here is a summary of the most?a mediator needs to master.?

I hope this is helpful, feel free to get in touch with me if you have questions. I’m happy to hop on a call. I’m German, so we could talk in your native language :)?

Warm greetings,
Simone

Ruth,
I have lead online conflict resolution with a global team that was on several continents!? Happy to talk with you about that experience sometime.
A big challenge is having 3 people in the conflict,? many of our models for conflict resolution are based on two parties in conflict.? ?As Simone said, its important to slow people down to hear each other, listen to their own needs and motivations.? I would add that setting collective intention,? having each person say whats at stake, for them, their relationship?with the other two, and whats at stake for the organization or community in the beginning?had help set the stage for the process.? ?I have an?intake questionnaire?that might be helpful to use to help people think?ahead of time about these things.

Best

Dear Simone, dear William,

?

thanks a lot for your generous sharing!

I would love to hear your ideas/ recommendations? about the following two aspects:

?

1.?????? I tend to include the manager as third person, because the solution will need clarifications that the manager needs to be part of; and also I think it is useful for her to hear the needs of the employees; and useful for the employees to hear the manager express the needs of the organisation. I do not intend her to have an active role during the dialogue of the emploees, but rather to be an attentive listener. Admittedly, I am not 100% sure if this is better than having 2 persons (audience effect? On the other hand – the manager’s actions play a part in this conflict and I imagine that a 3 person session might also help her grow in her role and might prevent a coalition of the two employees against her). What is your sense about this?

2.?????? Specific online question: do you actively use the mute/ unmute function, or is this in your experience not necessary (do you just let the conversation flow based on questions etc)?…
( I usually use an approach that involves in certain moments ?doubling up“: ?physically standing close to the person, sometimes even with body contact, and sensing and articulating the essence of the meaning and emotion that is being expressed..this quality of connection and sensing will not be feasible online, I am afraid)

3.?????? Do you use the whiteboard or a shared document etc to document results, or is this additional task just too much in your experience?

?

Many thanks

Ruth
