Conflict itself isn’t a problem. The problem is how we choose to deal with it! Most of us have learned through our experiences that conflict is difficult, often resulting in winners and losers. It is no surprise that many try to avoid conflict altogether. If we’re likely to disagree, why engage? If we must, it is easy to rely on ambiguous language to steer clear of a confrontation. Others like to take conflict head-on with the goal of overcoming dissenting points of view. Those who disagree are seen as “opponents” in a fight to win or lose. Still others opt to accommodate or give in to the other, without ever challenging a different point of view.
