• Conflict that is not recognized and addressed tends to develop in the direction of a destructive dynamic.
  • According to the model of conflict escalation, created by Friedrich Glasl, there are nine stages of escalation:
    1. exacerbation
    2. debate
    3. tactical attack
    4. coalition
    5. losing face
    6. threatening strategies
    7. limited destruction
    8. disintegration
    9. together into the abyss
