How should you go about addressing the conflicts in your life? It depends. If they are more manageable, you can approach them like a broken clock where you find and fix the problem. This is called Conflict Intelligence. But if they repeatedly resist your best attempts to fix them, they may require an alternative approach, something we call Systemic Wisdom. This simple app based on original research will help you diagnose the type of conflict you are facing and offer some basic tactics for managing them effectively.
