Abstract | For clinical leaders to have a positive impact on conflict, or manage their own styles of dealing with conflict and relationships, they need to determine what conflict means, understand conflict and know how it can be recognised and managed. This chapter explores approaches to dealing with conflict and why recognising and building skills in emotional intelligence can be vital for managing and minimising conflict. It considers approaches for dealing with conflict such as ‘self-talk’ and ‘I-messages’. The chapter discusses the value of active listening in reducing conflict and the tools for recognising and building emotional intelligence. Successful conflict management requires clinical leaders who demonstrate key conflict resolution principles and the ability to influence rather than wield power and authority. Conflict often sets people up on different sides of a discussion and leads to further division. There are a number of benefits for healthcare professionals and clients or patients if conflict is dealt with more effectively. |
