Overview:

Conflict among team members can oftentimes be very uncomfortable for the average employee but as it turns out, conflict can actually be beneficial in many ways when handled properly and positively.

When conflict is mishandled and issues grow out of proportion, multiple parties suffer beyond just the individuals involved in the conflict.
