There are two kinds of conflict in the workplace, healthy and unhealthy.
Healthy, productive conflict is a powerful force in the workplace. Employees can debate ideas, practice problem solving and learn others ideas, ways of thinking, passions and opposition.
Unhealthy conflict will create obstacles that prevents teams from talking about disagreements that matter.
Mutual trust and respect are foundational to healthy conflict. Parties must be able to express their thoughts, ideas and thinking without being bullied or put down for having different opinions.
Coaches need to anticipate that conflict will occur and help employees learn positive methods of conflict resolution and communication.
Healthy, productive conflict is a powerful force in the workplace, employees can debate ideas, practice problem solving and learn others ideas, ways of thinking, passions and opposition.
