Group Process

Conflict and Groups

Conflict among team members happens. It is natural and expected to occur when people come together to work in a team towards a common goal as part of their initiative or project. The process of facilitating conflict is not done through avoiding it, but rather knowing how to create a space for conversation and dialogue in which the different opinions are heard in order to reach agreement within the team. The process requires that all the team members are on the same page and that their concerns and questions are addressed.
