Description Competencies 1025.1.2 : Uses Communication Strategies to Manage Conflict The learner uses communication strategies for managing conflict. Introduction Conflict is a normal part of life. Managing conflict using effective communication is an important skill for solving problems, innovating, and maintaining productive relationships—particularly in a professional setting. In this task, you will critically analyze the communication in a conflict scenario and provide recommendations for communication strategies to manage and resolve the conflict. Use the RRM3 D268 Task 2 Template located in the Supporting Documents section below the rubric as a guide to complete this task. Scenario Two managers in a health professions setting are upset about recent staff reductions and the effect on worker roles. The characters’ discussion is shown in the "Workplace Conflict" video in the Web Links section located below the rubric. As you watch the video, imagine that you are in the room with the two characters, serving as an observer. Provide feedback for each of the two characters on how to negotiate this conflict. Requirements Your submission must represent your original work and understanding of the course material. Most performance assessment submissions are automatically scanned through the WGU similarity checker. Students are strongly encouraged to wait for the similarity report to generate after uploading their work and then review it to ensure Academic Authenticity guidelines are met before submitting the file for evaluation. See Understanding Similarity Reports for more information. Grammarly Note: Professional Communication will be automatically assessed through Grammarly for Education in most performance assessments before a student submits work for evaluation. Students are strongly encouraged to review the Grammarly for Education feedback prior to submitting work for evaluation, as the overall submission will not pass without this aspect passing.
