Emotional Process – Conflict MGT

Where one person ends, and another begins

The line between who I am, what I can do, what my responsibility is, and who others are, what they can do, what their responsibilities are.

1. Do not interrupt the law of Cause and Effect (Sowing and Reaping)

2. Be Responsible “to” others, but do not be “over-responsible” for others

3. Identify what YOU have the Power to do

4. Respect the boundaries other people set for themselves

5. Check your motives

6. Evaluate for harm, not hurt

7. Don’t be Reactive. Be Proactive and Assertive
