Compromising looks for solutions that partially satisfies both parties involved in the conflict. Compromise may be appropriate to use in situations where goal are moderately important to the job role and to enable a staff team to reach a temporary settlement on complex issues. Compromise can be used as a first step when the parties involved in the conflict do not actually know each other well or they don’t have a high level of mutual trust. Compromising is also to be used when the techniques of collaboration or forcing do not work. Advantages of using compromise include faster issue resolution, so therefore may be more practical when time is a factor.

The primary concern with threat assessments is the concerns of security. One has also identified that organizing a maximum security plan includes one knowing: (1) What or who is being protected, (2) What assets, and (3) How important is it (Fennelly, 2011).

There is functional conflict and dysfunctional conflict and it is in management’s best interest to identify potential conflict before it happens, so that it can be managed effectively. Functional conflicts are conflicts that are constructive in nature and create stimulating thoughts and problem solving within a group or team through exercises called devil’s advocate or debates. These functional conflicts are actually quite healthy for an organization because it supports company goals and objectives as well as improves performance. On the contrary, dysfunctional conflicts can be extremely harmful to an organization because it can hinder group or team performance. Dysfunctional conflict usually starts when two or more team members don’t get along, are not willing to work together and it is most often personal.
It is imperative for case managers to use intervention practices that will prevent risks, reduce the negative behavior, and promote productivity and success. Intervention practices are included in case management plans because they serve as actions to improve life situations. The concept with helping clients in the criminal justice is complex because each person is different and unique, so therefore, the treatment and services have to be different to promote success. In order for clients to change their behavior, they must change their way of thinking. References Freeman, D. W. 2001.
I have to act in the person’s best interest but instead of encouraging them to avoid risks I have to support them and enable them to taking part in activities. I have to act in the individuals best interest, keep them safe, carry out risk assessments, promote informed choices but also respect their decision and right to live their life as they choose. If the risk seems great to me I would document it and discuss the matter with my manager. Another area where duty of care dilemmas may arise are confidentiality issues. When a confidential information is shared with me and it concerns safeguarding and there is a possibility of harm or someone’s wellbeing is threathened I might have to make a decision and disclose this information.
Also another strategy that can help you overcome your conflict is to deal with it face-to-face because it is more effective than other forms because it allows for an active exchange of information. It gives the opportunity to observe nonverbal cues as well as gestures. If necessary you may also use a mediator to help you with your conflicts. However, the mediator must be neutral to both parties so that they can effectively mediate because if they are partial to one person then the conflict will not be completely resolved. Oscar if you do something wrong don’t be afraid to apologize.
Keeping my emotions in check will help me to think clearly and guide constructive communication; trying to dominate the resolution process will only frustrate the opposition. I will constructively listen to the thoughts and ideas of others and consider them honestly instead of trying to have my own way all of the time. My goal is to defeat my attitude of being a perfectionist. The key is being able to allow myself to make and except the mistakes of others. I do not have to be the best at everything.
If these assumptions are unchecked or inappropriate, we will make poor decisions and wrong judgments. In our personal relationships we use critical thinking to keep our lines of communications open thereby allowing us to use lessons learned to avoid repeating the same mistakes. In the workplace we avoid stagnation and are willing to challenge the current thinking, which may be out of date and is no longer relevant to our current work philosophy. Paul Richard (2008), an authority on critical thinking, characterizes a good critical thinker in terms of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and habitual ways of behaving, including the following characteristics. The critical thinker: • uses evidence skillfully and impartially • organizes thoughts and articulates them concisely and coherently • distinguishes between logically valid and invalid inferences • suspends judgment in the absence of sufficient evidence to support a decision • understands the difference between reasoning and rationalizing • attempts to anticipate the probable consequences of alternative actions • understands the idea of degrees of belief • sees similarities and analogies that are not superficially
