When people work together toward a goal, they often disagree. Disagreements happen because the members of the partnership, group, or team have different personalities, values, past experiences, work styles, and personal goals. A clash of these elements can obstruct the team's progress.
Conflicts often are viewed as negative, yet they are a perfectly natural and constructive part of any working process. They reflect each party's personal involvement in a project and provide good opportunities to accomplish goals creatively. Conflicts often inspire very successful outcomes.
