4.5 UNIT ASSIGNMENT: SELF-ASSESSMENT — CORNERSTONES TRUST SURVEY

Order Description
UNIT FOUR INTRODUCTION
Unit 4 Intro: Building Interpersonal Bridges

In the 1st Research Topic, we began with “How Do I Build Internal Bridges for Managing Conflict”? Remember that we are all growing in these areas of Conflict Management, a major focus and time
commitment in our leadership.

In the 2nd Research Topic, we went from managing our own internal bridges to coaching others to manage and build intrapersonal bridges within themselves. In guiding people to “tell the story” we
enter into a conflict coaching process to assist others in connecting the external conflict with the conflict that often takes place within oneself.

In the 3rd Research Topic, we ask “How Do I Build Interpersonal Bridges for Work Relationship Conflict?” We lead the person to create and envision the Best Story, that is, to envision the best
possible outcome to a conflict and lead a person in developing new skills. These skills include Communication Skills, Conflict Styles, and Negotiation Tactics.

Remember the first steps of grace as the Lord comes to each of us to restore or increase our relationship with Him. He always takes first steps. This is our own security with Him. Now we have the
strength and grace to reach others. Enjoy this wonderful and strong love (see Psalm 62:11-12) and continue in your peacemaking by coaching others to envision peace in the outcomes of their
conflicts.

So let’s do good research into these areas and perform some self-assessments that will give you
guidance on how to analyze your conflict management.
