Workplace conflict can arise due to miscommunication, lack of clarity around goals, people feeling taken for granted, and different thinking styles between individuals. This leads to wasted time and energy, reduced performance and productivity, stress, delays in work, and even absenteeism, violence or accidents. To prevent conflict, the document recommends communicating instead of being in conflict, clarifying instead of challenging, collaborating instead of confronting, complimenting instead of criticizing, and connecting instead of confusing. It also suggests learning to work effectively in teams.
