		<description><![CDATA[This week has been very interesting, between President Obama&#8217;s comments and Congress &#8220;grilling&#8221; BP CEO Tony Hayward over the Gulf oil disaster.  I don&#8217;t intend to get political here at all, but comment on the situation from a conflict management perspective.  An excellent summary of the situation comes from MSNBC&#8217;s H. Josef Hebert, whose column [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first step in avoiding problem conflicts and building better relationships is to understand that people have very different responses to disagreements, and that some of these conflict styles clash quite dramatically.  Some styles seem to work well together, but in the long run are quite problematic.  If you have to choose between the two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my experience, there are two general categories of church boards:  The first type is essentially democratic; board members are nominated and voted on by the congregation, and they serve for a specified term.  The second is where the members are hand-picked, either by the Pastor or through a process involving the existing board.  I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today John Kenyon posted a list of mediation jokes at the Mediate.com site. Most of them weren&#8217;t that funny, and as he points out, might not be funny at all to people who didn&#8217;t understand mediation principles and language.  The following joke is worth repeating here, but not because it&#8217;s funny. Rather, it makes a [...]]]></description>

At the mention of &#8220;mediator&#8221; he said, &#8220;Oh, do you know Judge so-and-so?  When I was a property appraiser, we mediated many condemnation cases with him.  We&#8217;d each lay out our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because of my background resolving litigated insurance claims, my experience with mediators was that they were almost exclusively attorneys, and often ex-judges to boot.  In fact, I was somewhat taken aback when I first learned that a particular mediator was not, in fact, an attorney.  I was assured, however, that &#8220;he was still a good [...]]]></description>
