Conflict Resolution - US Border Security Checkpoint Case Study

In this episode of the podcast, I analyse a conflict case study and show how we can use different frameworks to understand what is happening and develop options for responding. The situation I discuss is an audio recording from dash cam footage of a driver stopped at the US border and refusing to answer a question about whether he is a US citizen. This type of situation can be difficult to manage in the moment and it's easy to react in a way that makes things worse. I go through a number of options for responding to this type of person, who could be classified as a 'high conflict personality'.If you work in a role dealing with difficult people then you can take the same tools I discuss and apply to your own situation.
