Interpersonal conflict: strategies and guidelines for resolution

D E Wolfe et al. J Am Med Rec Assoc. 1985 Feb.

Abstract

Historically, management theorists have recommended the avoidance or suppression of conflict. Modern management theorists recognize interpersonal conflict as an inevitable byproduct of growth and change. The issue is no longer avoidance of conflict but the strategy by which conflict is resolved. Various strategies of conflict resolution and the consequences of each are discussed in this article, along with guidelines for the effective use of confrontation strategy.
