So I want you both to write a list, what you would do if you split up, wind down the partnership, the steps you'd have to take, and another list, what the steps would be if you could make it work between you. So let's meet in a week and we'll look at your list. Come back a week later, they say, you know what? We both wrote our list.

We immediately called each other and realized we should terminate the partnership, but we have one last big project we want to do together. And we realize now we can go our separate ways in peace. We really have different goals. It's not her fault. It's not her fault. This was two women who worked together. And so writing a list helps. This is all under analyzing, the A of the chorus method.

Having the person make a proposal. Say, make me a proposal. I tell managers, as soon as you can, tell your employees that now that I'm your manager, whenever you bring me a problem, and I want you to bring me problems when they're small, because conflicts that are small are much easier to resolve.

I want to hear your proposed solution because you know the problem better than I do. You're getting them to think. So high conflict people, I believe, have a bandwidth for problem solving. And some are brilliant heads of companies, inventors, all that stuff. They got a big bandwidth for conflict, but they also have a bandwidth for problem solving.
