moving beyond fear to collaboration action: the uncommon recipe for planning & managing shared...
DESCRIPTION
[National Park Service Rivers, Trails & Conservation Assistance Program] There is hope for planners and resource managers who are trying to balance the competing interests of polarized groups. Drawing from many disciplines including community planning, mediation, facilitation, conflict resolution, social identity theory, neuroscience, and principles of non-violent communication, Joy Lujan is helping polarized communities move beyond their fears and find collaborative solutions to managing shared resources. In river management planning processes, people everywhere have the same basic needs that must be met to move beyond fear, demands, and animosity to achieve successful outcomes. Designing planning processes that meet these core needs will help people work together more effectively and result in more implementable, broadly supported plans that address people’s most pressing interests while balancing resource stewardship. When people perceive themselves as being in competition over how to use or manage a river resource much of the behavior people exhibit comes from fear that they are going to lose something they value or that something is going to be done to them. Without carefully designed processes, people become more and more entrenched in their positions. The most effective processes make it possible to for extremely polarized, deeply entrenched interests to engage in planning processes that moves them to a place of higher thinking and shared solutions. As important as well designed processes, knowing how to effectively manage difficult internal, interpersonal, and group dynamics can be the key to whether a collaborative process is successful. This session will examine some common pitfalls at an individual level, at an interpersonal level and at the group level so that participants can better understand and effectively navigate difficult situations in collaboration.TRANSCRIPT

The Good NewsPeople, even angry people, are TOTALLY capable of being reasonable!
It is within our capability to create circumstances in which they can behave reasonably.

• Each of us may see things that others do not;
• Differences are opportunities for learning;
• People act with integrity, given their situation

The Power of Personal Perception
How reliable is our ability to perceive and make sense of the world?
The question is not what you look at, but what do you see.

The Reality About Assumptions
• Making assumptions is normal
• Most assumptions are implicit
• The longer our assumptions are in effect, the more likely we are to convert our assumptions into truths (beliefs)

Listening Isn’t the Fun Part
![Page 39: Moving beyond fear to collaboration action: the uncommon recipe for planning & managing shared uses of resources - Joy Lujan](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/547d5138b379594e2b8b520c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Attitudes of Effective Listening
• It takes energy to listen
• We have to care about what the person is trying to tell us
• We do not already know what the person wants us to know
• We need to convince the person that we heard them
![Page 40: Moving beyond fear to collaboration action: the uncommon recipe for planning & managing shared uses of resources - Joy Lujan](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/547d5138b379594e2b8b520c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Listening to Understand
■ Open-ended questions
■ Listen actively by paraphrasing facts and feelings to validate the speaker
![Page 41: Moving beyond fear to collaboration action: the uncommon recipe for planning & managing shared uses of resources - Joy Lujan](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051817/547d5138b379594e2b8b520c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Speaking to Be Understood
■ Reframe your language■ Yes/And – No Buts!■ “I” Statements■ Feedback Sandwich

Group Process / Dynamics• Forming, coming together, true issues or concerns are often
suppressed, while participants feel each other out
• Storming, the politeness barrier drops and participants often try to enforce their issues or control onto the group, tempers may flare
• Norming, participants begin to understand each other, get used to each other, trust and relationships begin to form
• Performing, the group gels and begins to work toward a common goal on a highly efficient and cooperative basis.

Group Process / Dynamics
• Fifth Stage – – Transforming, the group has achieved a level of
common understanding and trust that they begin to look at the problem in new ways and develop solutions that could not have been possible in any other setting

TIME: MONOCHRONIC AND POLYCHRONIC

Time Differences• Monochronic
– Events scheduled as separate items – one thing at a time
– Structured approach to time, emphasizes promptness
– Focus on agenda, task
– Completion of task most important
