Overcoming Conflict

The best strategy to overcome conflict is to apply critical thinking. That is the process of evaluating, reflecting, and reasoning that allows you to make more effective choices and smarter decisions. Evaluating the data used as a foundation for smart decision-making includes recognizing the distinctions between assessments and assertions and then making informed assumptions when all of the facts are not present. Reflecting on how personal experience and beliefs influence thoughts and also form the lens used to observe the world is instrumental in establishing objectivity and limiting bias. Critical thinkers recognize that the lens is unique to them and look for ways to gain broader perspectives to ensure effective reasoning.
