 "Amazing! I was actually faced with a very uncomfortable situation here at work, and Jessi was instrumental in guiding and supporting me throughout the experience. She was able to delicately point out opposing views, encouraged me to consider all possible outcomes, and consistently steered me in the right direction. I often consult her and place a high value on her opinion." San Diego NonProfit Executive. |
Most conflicts involve a mix of cooperative and competitive motives. Theory often cited by experts: A Theory of Cooperation and Competition (Morton Deutsch. "Cooperation and Competition.”) Even as many us start in positive relationships - at some point communication or lack there of can develop an imbalance of power, cooperation, respect and ultimately lead to a situation of extreme conflict. At this point is when resolution and solutions are needed to move forward in a healthier way. “A key element in understanding cooperation/competition is the type of goal interdependence found between the involved parties. Parties goals' may be negatively interdependent--one party's success correlating with the other's failure. Such situations tend to yield competitive relationships with a win-lose orientation. Parties' goals may be positively interdependent--success correlating with success, or failure with failure. These situations tend to yield cooperative relationships where the parties have a win-win orientation.” Conflict Research Consortium Staff We can work with you in several ways.
