Navigating Conflict at Work
How do you handle conflict at work? Avoid it? Tolerate it? Attempt to “manage” it? Can any good come from conflict? While it can be uncomfortable at the time, conflict is actually a normal part of working with others. When it is seen as a forum for important voices to express themselves – conflict can often lead to breakthroughs.
“If we manage conflict constructively, we harness its energy for creativity and development.”
~Kenneth Kaye
