Confrontation- where you all confront the problem instead
of one another, and see what is the point of your anger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Understand- which means you understand how each of you are feeling, and grant the right to disagree. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Define- which is to mark out the area of disagreement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Search- where you look for the solutions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agreement- it might be good or bad, it might work or not. But the point is, you see what concessions have been made, applaud it and see what can be done. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Implementation, of course -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Review- You let some time pass, and then go back and see if you can do any better this time round.
