Effective communication is the key to minimize conflicts among people thereby motivating them to have an optimistic , flexible and friendly disposal towards their fellow employees

Good communication skills are critical to your success as a leader. In fact, when you use your O.A.R.S., your employees are more likely to feel heard and understood. As a result, they become engaged and motivated. But don’t be fooled by the deceptive simplicity of these skills. They are much more difficult to employ than they appear.

First of all, conflict will take place among employees. No way in companies that conflict is prevented. There are some way to MINIMIZE conflict, not to prevent it since conflict can be utilized in a positive way to let all people/ teams sit in a table and discuss issues under one leader.

In order to resolve an issue or a conflict in an organization, the first and most important assignment is to know what is the conflict and what are the reasons of this conflict? In an organization usually below mentioned conflicts are faced:

  • Cultural Conflict
  • Behavioral Conflict
  • Managerial Conflict
  • Technical Conflict 
  • Promotion and Motivational Conflict
  • Gender Discrimination

These conflicts can be resolved separately. To resolve the cultural conflict in the employees because of diversified background, the management should develop a flexible organizational culture so that the employees coming from different back group can adjust them properly.

In order to resolve the managerial conflicts, the communication gap with in the management level must be minimized. The should be friendly communication environment. 

The Gender discrimination can be removed by proper training and psychological workshops of the employees.

The main thing is the flexible environment with motivational reward system.

I usually prevent conflict by sorting tasks from the beginning and have every one sure of what they are assigned to do, and if conflicts arise I deal with the each member on their own and try to be as subjective and understanding as possible without taking sides. 

As for motivation, I try to keep myself and my team focused on what we can achieve and that - if we worked our souls into what we are assigned to do - we will definitely reach our goal as with great will nothing is impossible.

Communicating is easy, but communicating well takes skill. Good communication habits comes with practice. For communicating well one needs to be a good listener first. While communicating to the opposite person I take care of few traits like:

I build a personal connection as that is what will make the listener stay in the conversation.

I always try to represent facts but that does not mean I say what I don't know as that might lead to mistrust.

I am always clear and specific.

I try to make the conversation interactive.
