Project Conflict Management

Conflict Management is a very important aspect of project management irrespective of project scope and team size. Project managers may have a preferred style for resolving conflict.

In this slideshow by Craig Brown we will see how different styles of conflict management i.e. avoiding, compromise, competition, accommodation and collaboration are helpful in resolving various types of conflicts.

"Conflict is a form of relating or interacting where we find ourselves (either as  individuals or groups) under some sort of perceived threat to our personal or collective  goals.

 These goals are usually to do with our interpersonal wants. These perceived threats may  be either real or imagined (Condliffe, 1991, p3)"
