This PPT slide, part of the 118-slide Strategic Project Design PowerPoint presentation, titled "Dealing with Individual Resistance and Conflict" outlines various forms of resistance encountered in discussions and provides strategies to acknowledge and address these challenges. It categorizes resistance into 4 distinct forms: avoidance of responsibility, flooding with detail, one-word answers, and impracticality. Each form is paired with a suggested response designed to facilitate better communication and understanding.

For avoidance of responsibility, the proposed question prompts the individual to reflect on their connection to the issue at hand. This approach encourages accountability and engagement. The second form, flooding with detail, suggests a more concise request for information, aiming to streamline communication and focus on key points. The response for one-word answers encourages elaboration, fostering a deeper dialogue without revealing too much upfront.

Impracticality is addressed by acknowledging the disconnect between the discussion and real-world applications. This response invites collaboration on how to make the conversation more relevant and actionable. The slide also hints at a fifth form of resistance, confusion, which remains partially obscured, but suggests a need for clarity in communication.

Overall, the slide serves as a practical guide for executives and leaders to navigate resistance effectively. By employing these strategies, leaders can enhance their discussions, promote accountability, and ultimately drive more productive outcomes. The insights provided are valuable for anyone looking to improve their conflict resolution skills and foster a more engaged team dynamic.
