Conflict is Normal?

Consider your own work environment for a moment:
1.What are some key sources of conflict in our workplace?
2.When do they tend to occur?
3.How do people respond to these conflicts as they arise?
4.When we solve problems, do we do so for the moment, or do we put in place systems for addressing these types of concerns in the future?


In reflecting upon your answers to these questions, you may begin to understand what we mean by anticipating conflicts likely to arise in the workplace: Normal, healthy organizations will experience their share of conflict, and workplaces experiencing a certain amount of dysfunction will experience it in greater quantities.
