Explain how can you avoid conflict by adjusting your own behavior?
Since conflict is caused by a difference of opinion and the struggle between two views for dominance, if one person simply adjusts to the alternate view and plans accordingly, they eliminate the conflict. For example, if Bill and Karen share office space, and Bill is neat and Karen is slovenly, Bill might clean up just enough to avoid annoying Karen, and Karen might clean only the area that comes close to her workspace.
