Leading through Negotiation and Conflict Management

Conflict is a difference of opinion. A leader’s main focus when managing a team conflict is to understand other members’ conflict styles and to facilitate the ability of members to understand and develop the use of more effective styles. Conflict can be beneficial for a team when managed successfully. Using principled negotiation and planning the team’s negotiations for resources as a developed leadership skill can support team success.
