What does conflict resolution aim to achieve?

Conflict resolution aims to achieve the meeting of the needs of all parties involved. This approach emphasizes understanding the perspectives of each side and working towards a solution that acknowledges their concerns and requirements. Successful conflict resolution fosters collaboration and communication, allowing all participants to feel heard and valued, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and satisfying outcome.

When all parties’ needs are met, it enhances relationships, builds trust, and promotes a positive environment, whether in interpersonal relationships, workplaces, or larger social contexts. This outcome is essential in ensuring that conflicts do not merely get pushed aside or treated superficially but are addressed in a way that allows for growth and long-term resolution.
