Either/Or and The Conflict Paradox

Posted on Feb 11 2015 under Conflict Dynamics, Previous Programs

Bernie MayerStephenKotev2-smallIn many situations we see our decisions as an ‘either/or’ dilemma. Author and Ph.D. Bernie Mayer argues in his new book, The Conflict Paradox, Seven Dilemmas at the Core of Disputes, that the real challenge  is to find a new path that incorporates both approaches. These apparently opposing conflict practices need not be mutually exclusive—in fact, each is necessary to the other.
