If you are entering a situation where conflict is serious among members
of the group, how might you use Learning Style results and/or the 4MAT design to ease into a solution, especially the Quadrant One experiential requirement.

Rick Fogg: As a Quadrant One learner I would tend naturally to use active listening and ensure that everyone’s feelings and points of view are understood, and that everyone felt safe to weigh in, and then check points of view against mission and values.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Rick said, but in my own words, I would say that a way to utilize the 4MAT in conflict (especially the Quadrant One experiential requirement) is to use your knowledge of the people in conflict and try to understand how they are looking at the situation. You should ease into the situation by trying to start each member from a place of understanding how each person in conflict is viewing and experiencing the situation. This doesn't necessarily solve the conflict, but understanding another person's experience begins to lay the groundwork for reaching an ultimate resolution.
ReplyDeleteAs a Quadrant Three and ONE learning I believe I would try to focus on the task at hand. If conflict is in the way too long, there will be no outcome therefore no productivity or ability to move forward. It just won't work if a conflict is in the way. That being said, I also stretch into the TYPE ONE learning quadrant and do believe that I would have a hard time bringing conflict to a head in order to fix it, therefore would try to work around the cycle - starting with reflecting, encouraging authentic truth from the group and vulnerability. Then moving ahead toward a practical outcome.
