Reconciliation

Yesterday, I witnessed two adults reconcile.

They had recently argued about an organizational policy, and the argument didn’t go well.

And here they were, days later, having a calm discussion. Finding a way forward.

Afterwards, they’d go their separate ways having come to a place of peace.

It was a fine example of conflict resolution.

Too often, one disagreement leads to another, words are exchanged, and bitter rivalries develop. People choose sides. It gets messy.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

We can do better … and some are leading by example.
