Conflict a Better Way to Resolve Them
Traditional methods of resolving conflicts usually rely on argument, negotiation, and compromise—a "clash" system where each side tries to push its own point of view until someone gives in. In "Conflicts: A Better Way to Resolve Them," world-renowned thinking expert Edward de Bono challenges this conventional approach. He argues that standard negotiation merely patches over differences rather than resolving them, often leaving both parties dissatisfied. Instead, de Bono introduces the concept of "design" and lateral thinking as a revolutionary framework for conflict resolution.
The book outlines how to shift the focus from a two-sided combat to a three-sided creative process. By introducing a neutral third party not as a traditional judge, but as a "creative designer," de Bono demonstrates how both sides can map out the conflict area together to design an entirely new way forward. Packed with practical concepts and illustrative diagrams, this text explains how to move away from rigid arguments and toward constructive, forward-looking solutions. It serves as an essential and timeless manual for business leaders, diplomats, and anyone looking to handle interpersonal disputes with creativity and efficiency.
