Replying to LO29005 --
Walter,
One key strategy would be to recognise the differences that you illustrate
and then to work hard to acknowledge and reflect on them at times of
conflict.
i.e. "Are we having trouble now because I want order and you want
looseness" etc and then spend time finding ways to overcome them by mutual
agreement.
You will probably find that on some occasions one set of parameters are
most appropriate and on others the characteristics from the other side
better. Sometimes you will find that you can create some 'rules' that
accommodate both in new ways.
At the root of this suggestion is that we recognise and value difference,
work with it and use it to advantage rather than seeing it as a constant
'problem'.
