Imagine you get off on the wrong foot with a new coworker.... What is something you might do to resolve this conflict?
Go own it! Find an appropriate time to walk up to them and say, "I understand that we got off on the wrong foot. My apologies for that. What I'm trying to resolve is X. Can we have a conversation about that?"
Regardless of who the conflict is with - an employee, your boss, etc., they'll think more highly of you if you demonstrate self-awareness. The conversation may be awkward, but that's better than a tense relationship that could last years all because you got off on the wrong foot. Remember! It's all about how you approach the situation.
