Problem Solving and Conflict

Problem Solving
What did you learn about?
I learnt about different conflict styles and about positive and negative thinking. I also learnt how to change a negative thought into a positive one. 
When discussing 'thought challengers' what did you notice about yourself?

What solutions can you try when you face a challenge during the Business and Enterprise kete? Give an example
You can think of a few solutions and decided which one would work best, what needs to change for what ever is going wrong to work and what the outcome will be. For example, if you can't decide/can't agree on what product to sell, you could think of which one might be more successful or come up with a compromise.

Can you redesign the Joint Problem Solving template to work for more than two people?
You could if you came up with different ways for everyone involved to end up happy. Discuss the shared problem, have each person come up with a different solution, discuss any consequences of each solution, choose the solution that will have the best outcome and use it.

Conflict
What did you learn?
During this module, I learnt about different ways of resolving conflict, as well as how to avoid it. For example, listening to what the person has to say and showing empathy in order to see the situation from that person's point of view. I learnt about the three main types of conflict; Aggressive, Passive and Assertive.

When discussing conflicts what did you notice about yourself?
I noticed that when I have a conflict I usually try to find the most peaceful or passive approach/solution.

How can you reduce conflict during the Business & Enterprise kete? Give an example.
To avoid and solve any conflict that may come up during the Business and Enterprise kete, we could firstly come up with a few solutions for the problem. Then we could decided which one works best for everyone/which one has the best outcome, and use it. For example, if we can't agree on what product we want to make and sell at the Market Day, we could come up with a few different products, and choose which one would either be more successful, less expensive to make, or which one is the most unique.
