5 MINUTE READHAVE A GOConflict can be defined as behaviour that is intended to obstruct the achievement of anotherperson’s goals. Conflict is an inevitable part of the change process, so while you cannot avoidit, you can learn how to manage it effectively – even transforming it into a positive force forchange. Conflict at work can often take three main forms: 1. Task conflict – includes differences of opinion, viewpoints and ideas. Some task conflict canactually be beneficial to the change process as it enables people to discuss a more diverserange of views and ideas before making decisions. 2. Process conflict – involves disagreement over the logistics of achieving an outcome orchange. For example, who takes on which responsibilities or who delegates to whom. 3. Relationship conflict – often the most destructive form of conflict and takes the form ofperceived interpersonal incompatibility between people. This may be on the basis of personalvalues, morals or personality characteristics. Management consultant Todd Herman defined personal accountability as "... being willing toanswer… for the outcomes resulting from your choices, behaviors, and actions."When you're personally accountable, you take ownership of situations that you're involved in. Yousee them through, and you take responsibility for what happens – good or bad. You don't blameothers if things go wrong. Instead, you do your best to make things right.In the workplace, accountability can go beyond your own tasks. For example, you may be heldaccountable for the actions of your team.To be a flexible thinker, you need to be able to think with an open mind. A flexible thinkerwould be able to think about one thing in multiple different ways. An inflexible thinker wouldbe thinking about things in one way and not having an open mind to other thoughts oropinions.Someone who isn’t a flexible thinker may be stuck in a situation or may not be able to figureout a problem, but they don’t change their thoughts on the matter. Someone who is aflexible thinker would be able to assess the situation and think about it in another way to beable to solve the issue.PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITYFLEXIBLE AND OPEN TO OPINIONSDEALING WITH CONFLICTHOW STRONG AREYOUR INFLUENCINGSKILLS?5 MINUTE READSafety Engagement and InfluenceANGLO AMERICAN SAFETY ACADEMY 2023.

10 MINUTE READ5 MINUTE READWhen you hold your people accountable, it benefits them, your team, and yourorganisation as a whole.If you can encourage them to take responsibility and hit their targets, they will likely feelmore engaged with their work, which can lead to higher morale and job satisfaction, andbetter performance. However, if you confuse "accountability" with "control," it can lead tothem feeling micromanaged.Holding people to account doesn't mean that you hover over them while they are trying towork. If you become a "control freak," you can make them feel claustrophobic, resentfuland unproductive. They can begin to doubt their own abilities, and their performance cansuffer as a result.Be consistent when you set performance standards and when you measure them. Someteam members may feel that they are being singled out for unfair treatment if you handlethem differently from their colleagues.The trusted advisor relationship is a more personal relationship than just being anexpert, in which you are a confidential sounding board for the ethical conundrums andmoral dilemmas faced by organisational leaders and decision-makers. When you canbe trusted to give steadfastly moral and ethical advice (because if you don't, youshould not be trusted).Being a trusted advisor goes well beyond being an expert. And while you may havesome business relationships like these, the trusted advisorship is only relevant withinthe relationship. You can sell expertise. You can't sell trust. You can only earn it.

10 MINUTE READ10 MINUTE READ10 MINUTE READResearch by Harvard Business Review into team behavior at 15 multinational companies,reveals an interesting paradox: Although teams that are large, virtual, diverse, and composed ofhighly educated specialists are increasingly crucial with challenging projects, those same fourcharacteristics make it hard for teams to get anything done. To put it another way, the qualitiesrequired for success are the same qualities that undermine success. Members of complex teams are less likely—absent other influences—to share knowledge freely,to learn from one another, to shift workloads flexibly to break up unexpected bottlenecks, to helpone another complete jobs and meet deadlines, and to share resources—in other words, tocollaborate. They are less likely to say that they “sink or swim” together, want one another tosucceed, or view their goals as compatible.A network is an informal group of people with a focus on building relationships, bothinside and outside the members’ organizations. It’s a powerful and underutilizedprofessional development tool. Research shows building relationships through a vastand diverse network will positively impact your advancement. The people with themost successful careers have the largest and most influential networks. Networking, onthe other hand, is building relationships with both the people you know and the peoplethey know, and it leads to mentoring, professional development, promotions, andbusiness opportunities. COLLABORATIVE TEAMSLEAVERAGE NETWORKSBefore you can even begin to build this critical leadership competency, you have tounderstand the difference between “persuasion” and “manipulation.” While manipulation istaking advantage of someone for your own benefit by convincing them to makecommitments that they don’t want to make or that will negatively impact them, persuasionis convincing others to change the way they think, believe, or behave. It’s influencingsomeone to make commitments that they wouldn’t otherwise make that will be beneficialfor them in the long term, even though they may not recognize yet that it’s in their bestinterest. Again, it is motivation that is key—whether you are persuading someone for theirown good, or for your own personal gain.PERSUASION AND COMMITMENTSafety Engagement and InfluenceANGLO AMERICAN SAFETY ACADEMY 2023.

Decision making involves much broader considerations — theirpotential impacts extend across enterprises — and the lines between strategic,tactical and operational decisions are blurring. Effective decision making requires business leaders to reframe what is essential,who or what is involved — and rethink how to leverage data and analytics toimprove decision making. The result will be a new core competency, driving betterbusiness outcomes. Critically, this isn’t about reengineering every decision; it’s about applying thisreengineered thought process to the most important and impactful decisions —those that can’t be made effectively with traditional approaches.Click the image to read more LEADING CHANGEMAKING BUSINESS DECISIONSSafety Engagement and InfluenceANGLO AMERICAN SAFETY ACADEMY 2023.

These strategies are crucial forfostering a positive work environment, motivating employees, and driving organisational success.Here are some effective leadership engagement strategies:1.2.3.4.Forcing - using formal authority or other power that you possess to satisfy your concernswithout regard to the concerns of the party that you are in conflict with.Accommodating - allowing the other party to satisfy their concerns while neglecting yourown.Avoiding - not paying attention to the conflict and not taking any action to resolve it.Compromising - attempting to resolve a conflict by identifying a solution that is partiallysatisfactory to both parties, but completely satisfactory to neither.Collaborating - cooperating with the other party to understand their concerns andexpressing your own concerns in an effort to find a mutually and completely satisfactorysolution (win-win).It's important to remember that there are many strategies we can use in conflict situations, buteach of us tends to habitually use some strategies more often than others. To most effectivelyresolve a conflict, we should use the strategy that is most appropriate for that particularconflict situation.
