Causes and Management of Conflict
Conflict in teams can not only cause a strain in the team dynamic, but can be a large obstacle in project success. However, it should be noted that conflict can also be a positive experience. Conflict exists naturally and is not only inevitable, but can inspire adaptability, enhance goal attainment, champion commitment, improve productivity, bring upon constructive change, create resolution, and generate new ideas.

There can be many reasons for conflict in project management, and by identifying the root cause, project managers can work towards resolving conflict. A few key clashes can be from:
- Poor cost management
- Different personalities
- Individual bias
- Communication deficiencies
- Lack of trust and respect
Once a conflict has been identified, there are various methods to management conflict. Liquid Planner suggests the following: 1) exercise power; 2) withdraw/avoid; 3) compromise; 5) appease; 6) solve the underlying problem, not the symptom; 7) delegate; 8) acknowledge the person first; 9) call a meeting; 10) listen; or 11) use a mediator.
