Take time to calm down and think over the situation.

If necessary, ask for clarification to make sure that each party understands the other’s position.
Brainstorm solutions to the conflict.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each solution.
Agree on a solution that is acceptable to both sides. The ideal outcome will be a win-win solution—one that benefits everyone and has no real drawbacks for anyone. If this is not possible, the two parties may need to compromise.
Follow up to see whether the solution has worked for each party.

Be willing to take responsibility for your role in the conflict.
Apologize if you have done something to hurt the other person.
