SIGNS OF HEALTHY CONFLICT
The article "When Friction Flares -- Dealing with Staff Conflict"
by Roger Neugebauer, which appears in the Exchange guidebook,
The Art of Leadership: Managing Early Childhood Organizations,
observes that conflict can be constructive if it...
* generates new ideas, new perspectives
* provokes an evaluation of organizational structures or center design
* brings individual's reservations and objections out into the open
* heightens the debate about pending decisions or problems
* forces the reexamination of current goals, policies or practices
* focuses attention on problems inhibiting performance at the center
* energizes staff -- gets them actively involved in the life of the center
