Question

Research on conflict and teams suggests that conflict is bad for a team and that it will inevitably bring the team down and cause them to spiral out of control and off track.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

b. false

Explanation:

While conflict is an indicative source of disagreement on the team, it will not necessarily be bad for the team or bring it down and cause it to get out of control and out of the way.

Research indicates that if there is effective conflict management in teams, this can be an important source in their development and innovation, being noticeable as a constructive conflict, where there is positive reflection and debate on differences in work, for example, which can culminate in more creative solutions, greater participation of members, greater capacity for tolerance and determination to deal with conflicts and overcome them in order to achieve the team's goals.
