Conflict resolution is the process by which parties in disagreement work to identify and find common ground in order to peacefully resolve their differences. This process involves identifying the issues at the core of the conflict, exploring potential solutions, and fostering communication and collaboration. Conflict resolution is an essential part of any negotiations and decision-making process, and often requires a combination of skillful negotiation, problem-solving, and dialogue. Furthermore, conflict resolution encourages both sides to explore their own needs and shape the outcome so that both parties reach an acceptable solution.
