Conflict is Unavoidable in a Group Work

http://www.resolutionservicescenter.org/
Everyone have different viewpoints which is a main cause of conflicts. Handling of those conflicts wisely leads to the success of group work while failure to do so will end up in a misunderstanding between group members. When conflict takes place between group members they have 5 options like they can ignore it, blame someone for it, complain about it to team leader and try to solve the conflict by giving suggestions to other members. Always stay calm while solving conflicts otherwise it can create an even larger mess. Conflict is not always a bad thing. It happens due to difference between people thinking and experience. Sometimes this type of conflicts make teams more diverse than those teams which have people with same experience. It is a duty of every group member to understand feelings and viewpoints of other group members so that they can make a successful plan together. Unity is strength. Mattie Stepanek (American poet) said," Unity is strength because when there is team work and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved".
The important thing in conflict is that it can't be avoided because thinking of everyone can't be similar. Due to this, it becomes a responsibility of every individual in a group to take conflicts positively and use them to improve group performance. Never argue with each other because it can cause negativity in a group which decrease the effectiveness of group. Moreover, conflicts can be prevent by various ways. Like, always keep team issues within the teams. If we talk outside about it than conflict can create an even greater mess. Patience is a key factor in preventing conflict because person with more patience can prevent conflicts. Don't blame others in a group because its not going to solve conflict. (MindTools, 2016)
