TASK 2
Competencies
**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.
**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.
**Microsoft Files Note:**
Write your paper in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) unless another Microsoft product, or pdf, is specified in the task directions. Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc. All supporting documentation, such as screenshots and proof of experience, should be collected in a pdf file and submitted separately from the main file.
_You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course._
A. Watch the "Workplace Conflict" video in the Web Links section located below the rubric. Then, analyze the interaction shown by doing the following:
1. For
_each_ character (i.e., Raymond & Jenna) you observed in the video, identify 1 or 2 interpersonal communication behaviors that escalated the conflict.
a. Describe how
_each_ of the identified behaviors in prompt A1 escalated the conflict.
_Note: The interpersonal communication behaviors could be verbal or nonverbal._
2. For
_each_ of the interpersonal communication behaviors identified in prompt A1, provide an alternative communication behavior that could have been used to de-escalate the conflict.
a. Describe how each of the identified behaviors in prompt A2 could have been used to de-escalate the conflict.
_Note: The suggested length for prompt A is 1–2 pages._
B. Recommend how
_each_ of the characters in the video (i.e., Raymond & Jenna) could have spoken or behaved differently to manage and resolve the conflict by specifically addressing each of the 5 steps of negotiation listed below:
• pre-negotiation
• opening
• exploration
• bargaining
• agreement
_Note: The suggested length for prompt B is 1–2 pages._
C. Acknowledge sources—using in-text citations and references—for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
_Note: Sources are NOT required for this task, but if sources are used, they must be acknowledged and cited appropriately._
