Conflict and collaboration. A match made in heaven?
Conflict is usually seen as something negative, often as a result of people having experienced conflict and found it to be painful and demotivating and having an unhealthy impact on the work culture and climate.
BUT conflict doesn’t have to be negative at all.
It all comes back to how we perceive it. We can either see it as a good thing or a bad thing, or indeed something in between. Ultimately, conflict is only a difference of opinion, which is a major creative force if seen and utilised that way.
What do you think you could do to create helpful, collaborative conflict?
