/So how to avoid avoiding conflict? Su provides some strategies:

Focus on the business needs: When you avoid conflict, you’re actually putting the focus squarely on yourself. Take the focus off you and your fear and concentrate on what the business needs. . .

Keep a calm demeanor: People who shy away from conflict often assume that it has to look aggressive, overbearing, or disrespectful. It doesn’t. . .’

Start with baby steps: Like any muscle you build, it takes practice and repetition before you can ratchet up your abilities. Start with easier situations first and address the conflict retrospectively (it can be hard to do it in the moment at first).

Consider the big picture (that is bigger than you) when deciding whether or not to deal with conflict. Resolution may just be important for the health of your business.”
