We Want More Conflict!

An article in the latest issue of Profit Magazine reports on a new Canadian survey where 57% of respondents report that they have seen conflict lead to better solutions to challenges. 40% also report conflict can lead to higher team performance, 77% say it helps with a better understanding of others and 31% says it increases motivation.

So what does this mean to organizations? Should we be encouraging conflict? Definitely not! But we should accept conflict as a natural part of the process of people working together and instead of focusing on eliminating it, focus on training and coaching employees on how to deal with it effectively.
