CONFLICT SAPS COLLABORATION

Organizations benefit from different perspectives, but problems arise when conflict feels personal. People become more focused on protecting what matters to them than solving challenges.

As conflict intensifies, trust erodes and people struggle to see productive solutions. Attentions shifts from goals to the conflict itself, affecting collaboration and decisions.

When people better understand what drives behavior—their own and others’—they can recognize conflict sooner, repair working relationships more quickly, and return their focus to the work that matters.
