Conflict ManagementCONFLICT is inevitable in any interpersonal relationship or between members of any group. Although we encounter various types of conflicts in many situations in our lives, we often feel a lack of confidence and vision of what is truly appropriate to do. Most students find conflict in their personal relationships already stressful enough, so any conflict within student organizations becomes absolutely unbearable. Those who have a lower tolerance level for anxiety often choose to leave the organization. WHY do we avoid facing our conflict? Often it's because many of us have been raised to believe that conflict is something to be avoided, an experience of failure.

We all come to see and experience the world in a different way and we all have different ideas about what is best for "my group" or "our group". Recognizing this fact can help us free ourselves from the negative conclusion that conflict is a sign of failure. In reality, it is a sign that change is necessary, and even possible.
