The presentation on communication and conflict resolution
was very insightful. Pointing out that conflict itself is not necessarily a bad
thing is extremely important. Conflicts are going to arise in many situations.
The important thing to think about is how you handle them. One of my greatest
strengths when it comes to communication is that I am always ready and willing
to discuss any problems that arise. My weakness, however, is that I tend to
give in to the other person’s side of the discussion in order to alleviate the
conflict. This forces me to sacrifice my
opinion in order to reach an agreement. By voicing my opinions more often, and
taking a more active role in discussions, I can improve my communication with
the members of my Summit team. In order to improve the way I handle conflicts,
I need to focus more on compromises that incorporate everyone’s ideas rather
than simply giving in and letting everyone else make the decisions. Putting
forth my voice and opinions will help me to become a better leader and
communicator.
