Team Conflict

Conflict exists in nature and, by extension, in all human relationships. Conflict can be something to avoid or embrace, or a more neutral approach can be taken. You will lead a group discussion on the subject among your peers. You decide that to generate a lively discussion, it is important to create a level of understanding of the role of conflict in groups and how conflict can be used to move a group forward.

Write at least 800 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

—  After doing some research on the topic of conflict, propose to your peers a position, and discuss the concept of conflict in teams.

—  Is conflict something to avoid or embrace?

—  Use examples from either your personal experience or from the literature that would support your position.
