The role of a manager includes preempting disputes by identifying and acting on issues early on. This minimizes negative effects on the workplace culture and saves the cost of escalating conflict. A manager encourages work/life balance, organizes regular meetings to enhance communications, and more.

Conflict Resolution may entail avoidance, accommodation, compromise, competition or collaboration. Creative resolutions help people and organizations grow.

She illustrates (sometimes counterintuitively) how the best partners aren’t echo chambers — and how great research teams, relationships and businesses allow people to deeply disagree.
(Heffernan, 2012)
