Conflict arises from disagreements but can result in positive outcomes like increased productivity and innovation if addressed properly. There are different types of conflict that stem from personalities, objectives, perceptions or expectations. Conflict should be resolved through collaboration where all parties speak, identify areas of agreement and disagreement, search for solutions, and reach consensus. Tips for resolving conflict include open communication, respect, empathy, focusing on solutions rather than who is right/wrong, finding the root cause, listening, and brainstorming to find the best resolution. Ultimately, resolving conflict in a way where all parties win allows a team to achieve its goals.
