“If people are being perceived as threatening or impeding your own basic psychological needs, that quickly breaks down trust. And when you break down trust, conflict is natural.”
Everyone is different and normally, differences lead to conflict when individuals cannot agree. And since conflict is inevitable, it’s best to prepare for it in order to handle ourselves accordingly when disputes arise. Conflict can be positive, such as a healthy amount of competition between team members to reach goals. But negative conflict, like personality clashes, can harm individuals and undermine teamwork. In this episode, Jason Campbell and Jeremy Pollack talk about the key ideas on how to effectively handle conflict.
