Our world is always changing, and problems will always arise. Plans will go off course. People will change. Humans will misunderstand each other. Conflict is a natural occurrence in both life and work. What matters is how you respond to the conflict and use it to build stronger relationships. "Open, respectful conversations can create deeper understanding between colleagues and foster trust," said Suzanna de Baca, CEO of Business Publications Corporation, Inc. "When teams feel comfortable solving conflict together, new ideas often emerge.

You can come up with ideas about what cultural components to sustain but are they chosen right? What do they mean when it comes to people? What behaviour or traits can you expect a display of when following them? #organizationaldevelopment #organizationalchange #learninganddevelopment #writerpoojadubey #globalwritersacademy
