During a conflict resolution meeting, how should a supervisor react if an employee has an emotional outburst?

End the situation immediately
Confront the employee immediately about the inappropriate behavior
Ask the employee to leave the area at once
Let the employee calm down before proceeding

The correct answer is: Let the employee calm down before proceeding

In a conflict resolution meeting, allowing the employee to calm down before proceeding is crucial for effective communication and resolution. When emotions run high, any response from the supervisor can escalate the situation or lead to further misunderstandings. By giving the employee time to regain composure, the supervisor demonstrates empathy and understanding, which fosters a safe environment for open dialogue. This approach can help the supervisor to encourage the employee to express their concerns more rationally and can lead to a more productive discussion. By contrast, immediately ending the meeting, confronting the employee about their behavior, or asking them to leave can exacerbate the situation and prevent any meaningful resolution. Such actions may leave the employee feeling dismissed or humiliated, which can hinder future interactions and the overall team dynamic. Prioritizing emotional regulation allows for a more constructive approach to resolving the underlying issues.
