Fight for What's Right: Ten Tips to Encourage Meaningful Conflict

Tuesday August 24, 2004
Someday, I will write a "how to work with people at work" book. Because each of us spends so much time in the workplace, getting along with our colleagues is critical. By getting along, I don't mean smiling and liking each other. I refer to doing meaningful, respectful conflict when necessary for the good of the organization. I mean asking the hard questions when you think the stated direction may be wrong. I am a proponent of questioning until you are sure you understand the factors essential to making a good decision. Take a look at Fight for What's Right: Ten Tips to Encourage Meaningful Conflict. Want more conflict resolution resources?
