It is important to learn how to cope with disagreements because you will work with others better, you will get more done, you will do your work better, you won’t be distracting others, and  you will be happier.

What are disagreements?

Disagreements are when someone doesn’t agree with your idea or you don’t agree with them.  Sometimes you don’t need to agree but you do need to agree when you’re working collaboratively.  Here’s how...

How to deal with disagreements:

• Use your WITS:
  • W means: Walk away from situations
  • I means: Ignore the person and behaviour
  • T means: Tell them what they are doing
  • S means: Seek help from someone you trust
• If it’s not a big deal, agree to disagree.
• Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill – this means don’t overreact.
• Compromise – figure out a way to do both or another way to do something.
