Conflict Resolution – recognizing conflict early on and solving together

Conflict isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Healthy and constructive conflict is a component of high-functioning teams. Conflict arises from differences between people, the same differences that often make diverse teams more effective than those made up of people with similar experiences.

When people with varying viewpoints, experiences, skills, and opinions are tasked with a project or challenge, the combined effort can far surpass what any group of similar individuals could achieve. Team members need to be aware of these differences and not let them rise into full-blown disputes.

When a team oversteps the mark of healthy differences of opinion, resolving conflict requires respect and patience. The human experience of conflict involves our emotions, perceptions, and actions; we experience it on all three levels, and we need to address them to resolve them.
