Conflict is an intrinsic part of all important relationships. Conflict is caused by many different kinds of specific events. People are not problems. Having clear and explicit expectations is a very crucial and essential part of any resolution process, for reaching an agreement or understanding the issues involved. It improves our work and performance.
Conflicts can end in many ways.
Often conflicts end with some kind of decision defining what will happen in the future. However, not all conflict can be resolved by improving communication. Not all conflicts lend themselves to joint or negotiated endings. But when mutually satisfactory outcomes can be found, they tend to be more self-enforcing, efficient, and durable. Joint processes can be creative.
