‘Clash and dash’ is one way of managing conflict. It refers to the act of fighting, asserting our view, not listening, and quickly taking ourselves out of the interaction. If we choose to clash and dash we leave no room for reconciling our differences. It seems somewhat of a cowardly and self-centered approach. And it may also be one that reflects the fears of the person who clashes and then, dashes.
What perceived fears underlie a clash and dash approach you have used in a conflict?
