Unfortunately, the destructive elements of conflict are present simultaneously with its positive or constructive elements – it swirls together!

clear, nonjudgmental language
- Clarifying the core issues by sorting out areas of agreement from areas of disagreement
- Listening carefully to each person’s point of view

The Tank Pushy and ruthless, loud and forceful, or with the
quiet intensity and surgical precision of a laser, the task assumes that the end justifies the means. Expect no mercy.
Your goal: Command respect.16
![Page 17: March 2011 IABC Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5443b0a2b1af9fbc0e8b4603/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Sniper This covert operator identifies your weaknesses and
uses them against you, through sabotage behind your back or well-aimed putdowns in front of the crowd.
Your goal: Get all his “snipes” and objections on the table.
17
![Page 18: March 2011 IABC Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5443b0a2b1af9fbc0e8b4603/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Know-It-All This person knows 98% of anything. Just ask! They will
tell you what they know – for hours at a time – but won’t take a second to listen to your clearly inferior ideas.
Your goal: To open their mind to new information and ideas.
18
![Page 19: March 2011 IABC Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5443b0a2b1af9fbc0e8b4603/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Think-They-Know-It-All This character does not know much, but does not let
that get in the way. Exaggerating, bragging, misleading, and distracting, these legends-in-their-own minds pull you off track.
Your goal: Give their bad ideas the hook, and replace with more acceptable solutions.
19
![Page 20: March 2011 IABC Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5443b0a2b1af9fbc0e8b4603/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Grenade They blow their tops, they’re unable to stop, and
shrapnel hits everyone in range. Then the smoke clears, the dust settles, and the cycle begins building to critical mass again.
Your goal: Take control of the situation before the person starts to lose it if possible.
20
![Page 21: March 2011 IABC Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5443b0a2b1af9fbc0e8b4603/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The “Yes” Person
Quick to agree, slow to deliver, the Yes Person leaves a trail of non-commitments and broken promises. Though they please no one, Yes People over commit to please.
Your goal: Get commitments you can count on, and HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!
21
![Page 22: March 2011 IABC Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5443b0a2b1af9fbc0e8b4603/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The “Maybe” Person When faced with a crucial decision, they keep putting it
off until it’s too late - but there comes a point when the decision makes itself. Then, it’s nobody’s fault but their own.
Your goal: Help them think decisively.
22
![Page 23: March 2011 IABC Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5443b0a2b1af9fbc0e8b4603/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The “Nothing” Person
You won’t know what’s going on because they tell you nothing! No verbal feedback. No nonverbal feedback. They seal their mouths and stare past you as if you’re not there.
Your goal: Persuade the person to talk.
23
![Page 24: March 2011 IABC Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5443b0a2b1af9fbc0e8b4603/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The “No” Person They say that “What goes up must come down.” And
what comes down must never be allowed to get back up again. Doleful and discouraging, they drive others to despair.
Your goal: Getting them to transition into a problem-solving mode.
24
![Page 25: March 2011 IABC Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5443b0a2b1af9fbc0e8b4603/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Whiner
They wallow in their woe, whine incessantly, and carry the weight of the world on their shoulders.
Your goal: Form a problem-solving alliance.
