Dealing with conflicts: Arguing constructively and leading to sustainable solutions

Conflicts are a natural part of life and part of the daily work routine. Nevertheless, smoldering, subliminal or hot, flaming issues affect the functionality and productivity of organizations and burden the cooperation.

If conflicts are taboos and they are displaced, communication and information stagnate and pressing questions and problems are not solved anymore. But if the energies, bound in the conflict are used in a proper way, opportunities for further development and innovation arise.
