Within-group conflict is always personal and emotional - even if it begins with impersonal issues..
Two heads are better than one only if they contain different opinions..
If necessity is the mother of invention, conflict is its father..
Conflict is neither good nor bad. Properly managed, it is absolutely vital..
Opposites attract - and then can't stand each other..
If you are leaning over to starboard to balance the boat against the other guy's propensity to lean too far to port, both of you are about to get wet..
If we manage conflict constructively, we harness its energy for creativity and development..
People who can't admit they are part of the problem, will never be part of its solution..
