How to Handle Conflict in a Team (and Why You Should)

In business, the idea that great teams are built solely through harmony is a misconception. True team strength often emerges from passionate disagreements, showing that members are deeply invested in their work.

Superficial harmony can lead to complacency and unaddressed issues. Teams avoiding conflict may fail to confront problems, leading to disruptions. Arguing often indicates passion and drives exploration of all perspectives, leading to robust solutions, as seen with Pixar's candid feedback meetings.

Healthy conflict fosters innovation by challenging the status quo. Managed well, it strengthens bonds and builds trust, as Google's research on psychological safety indicates. Leaders should encourage open dialogue, create safe spaces for expression, and focus on solutions.

I believe the real point is, "how do you fight?" there's always a healthy way to fight

Goodmorning i agree with you.
Fighting Is for sure as the point Is about love.

Crucial conversion does not have to be a fight. A change of tone and energy is not a fight it's just passion coming out, and people should know the difference. Fight is breaking down communication and negative decisions.

More organizations should listen to this view.fighting means somebody still cares about the mission statement. When people reduce that ( workers) they are on the way out.

How about those who get the point across without fighting? I stand with them, those who are peaceful, creative and productive. They’ve got great insight when they open their mouth. No need to fight we can debate and discuss.

Great teams has huge amounts of friction❤

It depends on the kind of fight. So long as it builds, develops and brings out the best in each other, its one worth engaging in.

Amen!!! Speak it real, I explained this but hey one day they will get it!!!

[Buddahabrot]

I think that we must differentiate between respectful and intense disagreement VS looking to hurt each other EMOTIONALLY / BULLYING .

Of course, amongst men/boys a physical fight might be a way to blow of steam. Again, this is not the same as BULLYING. However, your opinion might be different depending on which side of the schoolyard you used to play.

EDIT : I'm not talking about REAL fighting when it comes to adults. At most I'm talking about sparring in a kick/boxing ring. Or a proper jiu-jitsu class.

Real fighting ... NO, NO, NO...

Consensus manages, contrarianism creates

[rostenndlovu]

Fight sound too physical Vusi, but argue wld be more appropriate.

[rebonemoloi]
