What is Conflict Management ?

Conflict in a workplace setting can be a normal part of doing business. Conflict, when properly managed, can be beneficial; as it fosters an environment of healthy competition. However, conflict may also have a detrimental effect. As a manager or business owner, you need to be aware of potential sources of conflict within your work environment.
