Healthy Conflict
April 18, 2011
Look at the world around you. It may seem like an immovable, implacable place. It is not. With the slightest push—in just the right place—it can be tipped.

"Conflict among staff in a center can be constructive if it . . .
- Generates new ideas, new perspectives
- Provokes an evaluation of organizational structures or center design
- Brings individuals’ reservations and objections out into the open
- Heightens the debate about pending decisions or problems
- Forces the reexamination of current goals, policies, or practices
- Focuses attention on problems inhibiting performance at the center
- Energizes staff — gets them actively involved in the life of the center"

Conflict is a natural part of life. It's life telling us we have choices. To label it "healthy" only if it's traversed in a certain way seems to miss its innateness to what life is. I'd rather focus on how to move through conflict staying connected to the feelings and needs in the room. It's here that we have a chance at actually meeting the needs at play and coming out the other side of the conflict more aware of the one another's humanity and how we are all truly connected.
