A conflict situation

A conflict situation I had been in was with iodine of my closet co worker or at least I thought we were close. My co worker and I was always communioning behind the store manger back when he wasnt looking, but then a new assistant manager position came up and my store manger was looking at me to possibly fill the position. My co worker really didnt like the fact that my store manger was looking at me so my co worker told my manger that I was make fun of him for a long time and he even that cameras to prove it.My manger didnt give me the position he gave it to my co worker, we didnt talk to each or not even look at each other for months. Thats what causes a convert conflict. With him and me not talking it made him pull that he was wrong about what he has done about the situation. A few months goes bye and finally my co worker said he was worrying about what he done and the only reason why he did it was because he was about to became a dad with twins babies and he needed the spec ie bad.So at the end I forgive him and I told him that he should have just told me and we would have never gone this long without talking to one another. With the conflict that I had with my co worker I wish I use the cardinal problem-solving stages of conflict resolution, because if I did I really believe my co worker and I would have never gone so long with speaking to one another. I would recommend everyone to use these steps to solve either conflict you top executive have with another person because you might not get another chance to make things right again.I really hark back when a person is using use the five problem-solving stages of conflict resolution, there should be nothing but a positive outcome in any situation. I also believe that if it doesnt want out that you probably really didnt want to give another chance to solve the conflict. The five problem-solving stages of conflict resolution gives you every chance to make up with that other person even with the last s tep is to learn and accept the fact that it might not work or you can just start the steps over .
