Question One
Just like any other place the workplace is no exception to conflicts. Notably, conflicts are
typically perceived as more than just disagreements. If either party notices a threat, there is
bound to be an issue arising from the same. Therefore, conflict refers to a situation that brings
forth feelings of frustration, unhappiness, stress, depression, anger, and also irritation. It can also
be a battle one is having with themselves. The main aim of this discussion question is to identify
the best strategies to use when managing conflict in an organization (Lewin 2016).
Some methods for resolving conflicts include the following:
1. The first method is to ensure that one is maintaining an open dialogue. This is achieved
by being in a position to express one’s concerns sincerely and expressing one’s concern
in a way that is reasonable and composed. This will go a long way in ensuring that the
aggrieved parties can reach a common ground and reach a comprise that they can both
live with.
2. The second method is mediation: if the issue at hand is very serious, there is a need to
consider mediation. This is achieved by a third party that will help the two parties reach
an agreement during mediation.
3. The third method is avoidance: A times it is important if possible it is important that one
avoids the individual or situation at hand.
An experience I can think of is one of my co-workers argued tasks assigned to us. I talked to
them calmly and rationally about their concerns. Therefore, we agreed that we needed to set
up some boundaries so that I was in a position to gain more autonomy. However, we agreed
that I should always keep them updated on my progress as this was the best compromise we
would come up with.

resolutions while at the same time cooperating with the aggressors(Overton & Lowry, 2013).
Question Two
It is important that all business organizations that can understand more about the existence of
diversity and inclusion and the benefits that can be obtained as a result of being able to
incorporate inclusion in their organizations. Therefore, organizations need to have in place
practices that support diversity and inclusion. Additionally, it is also important to acknowledge
the fact that several factors lead people to have unique characteristics all over the world. This is
what makes communities distinct. It is also important to note that an organization should be in a
position to identify people who can be in a position to communicate effectively with the group
that is in question so that they can diversify and meet the overall goals and objectives of the
organization. Additionally, diversity inclusion entails not only having people with diverse
characteristics in the organization but also respecting their differences and unique abilities. This
means that all departments should be at the forefront in ensuring that there is proper teamwork
and communication. Some of the challenges encountered have different people in the
organization being receptive to gender, et...
