*  How to Reduce Conflicts to Maintain More Peace of Mind
by Sandy Karn


When you have peace of mind, you'll probably be more productive, because, in this place,
it's likely you're more creative. You can be more present to the moment, and can focus on
what your priorities are.

So, how can we get to more peace of mind?

Step 1

Manage your own "Me-Me" conflicts. When part of you wants to move at a faster pace,
and that other part of you wants to make sure you're absolutely right in your decisions,
you're in the middle of a "Me-Me" conflict.

Understanding your reality can be your first step to eliminate "Me-Me" conflicts. You can
reserve more energy when you manage your internal conflicts, and stay focused on what's
most important. Having peace of mind can help you do that.

Step 2

Pay attention to the behaviors of those people you work with, so you know how to
respond to them according to their behavioral style. 

If your boss is a High D boss, and you're a High C worker, please step up your pace a bit,
and cut down on the details, or it will affect your relationship with your boss. That's likely
to cause more conflicts than you need or want, and your peace of mind disappears
quickly, taking your profits with it.

Step 3

Know what specific behaviors to avoid with others. Make a point to know and understand
the behaviors of others, and how your behaviors can cause conflicts with them. This is
how you avoid conflicts that will cause profits to go down - taking with it your peace of
mind.

Here's some avoidance points that will help you to reduce conflicts, maintain peace of
mind, and improve profits.

High D, Dominance, people:

Don't ask rhetorical questions.
Avoid win/lose challenges.
Don't tell them what to do.

High I, Influencing, people

Don't talk down to them.
Don't be curt, cold, or aloof.
Keep a friendly tone.
Don't ignore or reject them.

High S, Steadiness, people:

Don't promise what you can't deliver.
Don't be too quick or abrupt.
Don't rush headlong into business.

High C, Compliance, people:

Don't fail to follow through.
Don't invade their personal space.
Don't force a quick decision.

Keep these avoidance points in mind when talking with others. They will take you a long
way in staying out of interpersonal conflicts. That will ultimately bring you more peace of
mind and profits.

Wishing you the best in avoiding conflicts with others,
