    As a leader I have solved a lot and different types of conflict with various techniques, first I listen to both parties, finding grounds to make easy effective communication for better understanding of each other's needs and feelings and brainstorming possible solutions.
    In each case, I was able to help the parties involved to resolve their conflict and to build consensus by: Creating a safe and supportive environment for dialogue, help each party understand other's perspectives, identifying common interests and goals and proffer solutions. All these increase unity in diversity.
