Avoiding Conflict can be Creating Conflict
It is not unusual for people to want to avoid conflict. Of course we want to get along with one another and work in a happy environment, but getting along doesn’t mean we always agree or need to ’just talk about it.’ In fact, avoiding conflict can actually create conflict. Conflict is a cloud that gets in the way of the work getting done, and it is costing your business A LOT of money. If you are a leader who tends to run away from conflict, learn to deal with it. Water cooler conversations, pre/post meetings before the actual meeting and work disruptions are signs of unresolved anger and conflict. What are the causes of workplace conflict? There are situations that are common to every work group, and in this podcast we discuss a few of those, plus a few of the unique situations you may be experiencing. Liz Kislik is an expert at dealing with and managing conflict. Check out her great insights in this conversation.
