Harvard-backed strategies for conflict resolution

3 simple ways to manage disputes better, according to Harvard University.

When conflict flares up, it often follows a sad pattern. Each side blames the other, emotions rise, and it gets worse.

Don’t let yourself get provoked into shouting or snapping- it only makes things worse.

Don’t give up on working together. Even in conflict, look for ways where both sides can gain something.

Take a break if needed. Stepping back gives space to think clearly and respond better.

These strategies reduce stress, protect relationships, and lead to better results.
