All of us experience conflict. We argue with our spouses, disagree with our friends, and sometimes even quarrel with strangers at a hockey game. At times we lose sight of the fact that all this conflict is normal. As long as people are individuals, there will be the potential for conflict. Since you cannot prevent conflict, the most important thing is to learn how to handle or manage conflict in productive ways. The most critical skill for resolving conflict is developing an understanding of, and a trust in, shared goals. It requires openness, discipline and creativity.
