Do you have conflict in your business or organization? Don't deny it, you do. It is like asking if you have bills to pay. It is all part of be in the grid (as opposed to being off the grid... like the Unabomber) Do you know what kind of conflict you have? I don't just mean "the annoying kind". Conflict, believe it or not, can be good or bad. Sometimes conflict is both good and bad. Now that I've dropped that on you, you may want to get some Aspirin before continuing.
Conflict, like many organizational issues is a symptom of an underlying problem. It's like medicine. You can treat the runny-nose, cough and fever, but you are not taking anything to cure the cold or flu you have. Like the common cold or flu, conflict is equally hard to treat. Unlike the cold or flu, you need certain kinds of conflict. If you have negative conflict, you may need a professional to come in to help you work through your issues.
Let's face it... You are too close to your problem! Most people contact professionals to help only when they are up to their eyeballs in trouble. I could go on a whole rant about waiting until the last minute, but I will not digress. When you hire someone to help, take the time to really shop around. Don't just write it off as too expensive! You need you need to spend money to make money. Solving some issues could save you up to 25% in legal costs, hiring/firing, and lack of employee performance.
You only loose when you avoid your problems.
