Conflict is normal. In fact, there is a positive aspect to it. Read how conflict occurs naturally when people interact.
Conflict occurs naturally when people interact. Eventually if you and I are working together on a work task, we are going to disagree about how something should be done, or what each of us should be doing to get the task done, or perhaps some other issue like how I might be treating you, or vice versa. That's normal, and in fact, there is a positive aspect to it. When you and I disagree, or get into heated conversation, it means that you and I CARE enough about the issue to take a staqnd and advocate and agrue for what we believe is best.
Teams. organizations, and even individuals need conflict interactions to grow. New ideas can emerge from conflicts - new ways of thinking and doing things that can be usefule to everyone.
We can't eliminate all conflict. Neither would we want to because we would lose an important way to grow our teams, organizations and ourselves.
