- Four severity levels: perception, process failure, policy failure, and ethical violation—each requiring different resolution approaches.
- The 7-step resolution process: listen, investigate, classify, resolve, communicate, document, follow up.
- A well-handled dispute can strengthen relationships more than a dispute-free interaction (the service recovery paradox).
- Never allow pride to prevent resolution—small concessions preserve relationship value far exceeding their cost.
