Discuss the potential positive outcomes of conflicts in teams
What will be an ideal response?
Teams, as well as individuals who experience conflict are able to make better
decisions. Conflict over tasks can help people identify and better understand the issues
involved.
Opposing points of view, when expressed, can actually clarify issues and uncover
problems that have been less obvious or unknown. Critiquing solutions helps a group
avoid groupthink. Discussions aroused by conflict can lead to creative solutions.Conflict,and the resulting creative process, can help keep the work environment lively and
interesting. Constructive conflict can stimulate thinking about otherwise mundane tasks
or behaviors. At the same time, conflict can cause marginal employees who are not
willing to be team-oriented or use creative problem solving and task resolution to
decide to leave the organization, thus increasing the team's cohesiveness and
effectiveness
