How To Manage Conflict

A certain level of conflict within an organization is healthy, as it shows that people are passionate about their ideas and willing to fight for what they believe in.

However, it is important for managers to prevent this conflict from wasting the energies of their people.

Conviction must be allowed to burn itself out, either by trying an idea or fighting for the chance to try it. If bottled up, it can eat away at a person's heart. It is healthy for employees to openly fight against their boss or each other, as long as the conflict is kept respectful and professional.
