I need a substantive comment on this post:

Conflict occurs in all forms of work and personal life. The word conflict typically has a negative connotation behind it. A practical scenario for potential conflict would be multiple members at work placed on a team by a manager to work on a project together. Conflict would be when these two members of the team see things differently and argue about how the project should be accomplished. Although this scenario isnt particularly beneficial and conflict in general is typically viewed as negative, it can hold many benefits towards it as well. Some benefits associated with conflict are that it forces creative thinking, higher engagement in employees and improved problem solving. When there is conflict, a person who is open-minded may learn and develop a new style of thinking because of the other person arguing their side of their idea. This makes both people think of new ideas and forces everyone to think outside of the box. When referring to team work on a project, conflict and opposing insights creates higher engagement in project work for the team because higher competition could come out of wanting to do better for the result of the work. When thinking back to the practical example of working on a group project at work, conflict can improve problem solving methods because when arguments are happening. Arguments can force the best work out of people proving their point and learning how to improve that determination in their points. The potential problems associated with conflict seem to be a bit more common. These can include examples such as lowered productivity, project failure and turnover in the workplace. An example of lowered productivity can be because arguments can lead to stress and anxiety and cause workers to not want to be involved in anything related to the people or situation that have caused those things. Project failure stems from the same factors as lowered productivity. When a team is working together on a group project and conflict rises that is too much for one or more people, then that can elevate to a level to where people that feel the conflict has gone too far then it may lead to a poor final product. Or even worse, collapse a whole project. The other potential problem associated with conflict is turnover rate. If people are continuously involved with conflict in business then that may lead to a higher turnover with people always leaving a job. According to the textbook, there are a couple strategies for resolving conflict. One is reducing differences and another is tolerating differences. Reducing differences is when everyone involved has a better attitude and demeanor toward other members to produce more positive outcomes. Tolerating differences can be summed up as to appreciate differences and beliefs that others have regardless of your own. An example would be to completely hear out another persons ideas at work and try to completely understand what they are trying to suggest before judging, shutting them down and creating conflict.
