It is almost inevitable that we will all experience conflicts from time to time. These can be with bosses, friends, coworkers, and significant others. If conflicts aren't handled properly, they can end relationships and jobs.
 
Conflict is unavoidable and occurs in every relationship as well as internally, with ourselves. In general, conflict signals an opportunity for change and growth, improved understanding, and better communication, whether it be with yourself or others. Though managing conflict may not be easy, it is important to facilitate discussion and come to a resolution since conflict is part of our daily lives.



Conflict management is the process of limiting the negative aspects of conflict while increasing the positive aspects of the conflict. The aim of conflict management is to enhance learning and group outcomes, including effectiveness or performance in an organizational setting.
 
A conflict between two desired gratifications, as when a youth has to choose between two attractive and practicable careers, may lead to some vacillation but rarely to great distress. A conflict between two dangers or threats is usually more disturbing. A man may dislike his job intensely but fear the threat of unemployment if he quits.
