From Conflict to Cooperation
Whenever two or more people are gathered together there is bound to be conflict of some type. Most of us have been schooled in the idea that conflict is to be avoided. However, conflict holds many opportunities when approached as a tool for the learning organization. Conflict can identify ambiguities in the mission, communication glitches, values differences, areas for organizational improvement and a variety of relationship issues. Thomas Crum says that conflict can be "magic" in terms of its potential to assist people and organizations in the process of growth and change.
At LYNCO Associates, Inc. we study the impact of conflict on the team, on relationships, and in the organization. We look for opportunities and solutions within the conflict and assist you and your organization in developing strategies for directing that energy positively.
