How can employees navigate conflicts that arise from differing work styles or communication preferences with their colleagues in a way that promotes understanding and collaboration?

Employees can navigate conflicts that arise from differing work styles or communication preferences with their colleagues by first acknowledging and respecting the differences. They should strive to communicate openly and actively listen to each other's perspectives to gain a better understanding of where the conflict stems from. Collaboratively finding common ground and compromising on a solution that accommodates both parties' preferences can help promote understanding and collaboration in the workplace. Additionally, seeking feedback from a supervisor or mediator can provide an outside perspective and help facilitate a resolution.
