is all conflict bad? share some situations
Conflict is not always bad it can be productive in many instances, conflict within organisations helps the people to avoid group think, which can be counterproductive and disasterous in some situations.
An instance where conflict was useful was in my organisation where some of my team members wanted to implement a new strategy in the research department, they all had unanimously agreed on this but when I raised some questions it turned into an argument and conflict arose, but this conflict gave an idea to the team members that their initial stance was faulty and they reconsidered their original position.
Another instance of this is during a PhD topic presentation a PhD scholar at choosing a topic which appealed to all the faculty and students but one faculty objective to it as he did not see the value in the researc. This objection caused conflict among the professor's, leading them to a debate about the topic and ultimately they discarded the topic as the topic was not feasible and also the topic was not valuable.
