P/HR/26. Conflict Resolution in Work Teams. Conflict in work teams is inevitable but does not necessarily impact a teams performance negatively, and the successful use of teams can be the cornerstone of good management as long as constructive solutions are implemented along with open-minded communication within the group. Discuss.

Conclusion: We have learned that conflict, although inevitable, has many origins and that our ability to recognize the good from bad is a learned skill. Conflict exhibits itself sometimes unexpectedly and has many faces, even in the best teams, in the best of companies. Our goal must be to recognize early, through self-assessment, and avoid situations that lead to negative conflict, and at the same time, be prepared to manage and/or diffuse it when it cannot be avoided. Above all, good leadership, and team communication skills are needed to overcome and facilitate the resolution process.
