What Is Conflict Management?

Conflict management does not look to ending conflicts on the spot but deals with it in a way that mitigates its effects as peaceful settlement is sought, cognizant that conflicts are part of human life.

Conflict resolution

Conflict resolution is contingent on negativity of conflicts and aims at absolutely stopping them once they start. It is a search of how to end conflicts regardless of how long the conflict has lasted. Conflict resolution does not consider the pros and cons of conflicts but view them as bad and therefore should be ended as soon as they surface.

What Is Conflict Transformation?

Conflict transformation evaluates the pros and cons of a conflict and transmigrates them to benefit the community and parties in the conflict. Once conflicts occur, relationships and worldviews change which is considered potent for change. Issues that have been difficult to deal with, like decisions, can be easily fast-tracked in a conflict situation.

Nature Of Conflicts

Most conflicts are complex due to the manifold nature of issues at play. Conflicts may begin as mere disagreements between two people and spread to Millions. It follows that conflict managers take no chances at viewing every conflict as potentially explosive.
