“It's okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That doesn't give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give you a right to accuse someone of poorly expressing their beliefs just because you don't like what they are saying. Learn to recognize good writing when you read it, even if it means overcoming your pride and opening your mind beyond what is comfortable” (Lorenzana, 2016).
Disagreements
and conflicts can occur at any time of the day during work hours or one's daily
life. The many disagreements I have had with work and personal life I have
resolved them in a respectable way or was never resolved. I am currently in process
of putting my daycare together, but a disagreement I have had was with my
supervisor. She was a good person, but working with her was not quite
agreeable. She came into the facility new and changing things without knowing
her staff or the families. She demand things and did not care for anyone's
feelings or concerns. At that time I was an Assistant Director/Preschool
Teacher and I asked to talk to her in private. As two supervisor, no staff
wants to see the main people of the building arguing and I did not agree to the
changes she made and expected to change overnight.
The 3 R's, respect,
reciprocal and responsive could have positively impact on this disagreement.
She made a comment about everything I said and interrupted when I was talking.
The only thing, we agreed on was that she never said thank you, or please. I
thought I was bad when it came to interruptions, but she was by far worse than
me in communications. It is important to let everyone finish their opinions
without any interruptions or putting my opinion in before they finish their
opinion. As a professional, it would help us guide towards a positive
communication rather than negative. We can set a positive way of communication
so the children and families can see that there are other ways to resolve the
issue. Another good communication was have good eye contact when you are
talking to someone.

Maria,
ReplyDeleteNobody likes to be interrupted, that may indicate that what you are saying is not important. I have had to say in conversations where I was cut of that, "I would like to finish what I was saying." Coming into a center and not taking time to learn about the culture can create tension that may affect the moral of employees. The information that you shared about your director is a contrast to the information that was covered this week.
