ATTENTION STUDENTS: If you need to write a paper on avoiding conflict in organizations, then this is the perfect reference. It's simple, easy to understand, and right to the point. If you are most happy when things are going well with others at work, and you get stressed when they are not, then this book is for you. Like most people, you probably enjoy your job most when you accomplish goals. At some point, however, you need coworkers help complete tasks related to those goals since you do not have expertise in all areas. Those coworkers have an organizational responsibility to assist you, but they will be much more willing to do so if you have good relationships with them. Conflict can prevent good relationships from happening or tear them down quickly if they have been established, and these are major reasons why many people choose to avoid it. This book will show you that you can be successful while avoiding conflict. It discusses the negative impact that conflict can bring about and dismisses established thinking that all conflict is good because it stimulates creative thinking and prevents groupthink. After the introduction, the book discusses ten different reasons to avoid conflict. Each reason is a separate section that includes: • An example of a situation where the reason is applicable • An explanation of why conflict should have been avoided in that situation • A key point extracted from the situation A summary then concludes the general thinking behind the ten reasons, and it sheds new light on the subject matter. Read this book if you want to better understand your career strategy and build confidence that you are making the right choice by avoiding conflict and maintaining solid work relationships.
