Positive Change
One of the most fundamental benefits of conflict is that it leads to change. In a workplace, school or home certain conditions may not be benefiting to all individuals. This will general lead to a certain level of conflict, which may be expressed during meetings. Management can identify problems that face the employees, and if resolved, this may result to increased productivity in the organization. Consequently, work conditions may improve because the conflict was recognized and addressed appropriately.
Personal Growth
Conflict can also lead to personal growth. How people handle conflict represents how mature they are. Additionally, a conflict situation allows individuals to discover more about themselves. This type of conflict that leads to personal growth is normally interpersonal conflict. Through proper dialogue, one can be ale to learn what the problem is and, therefore, develop new ways of approaching and addressing different people.
Better Relationships
Conflict also leads to the development of better relationships. The conflict may result to two individuals engaging in communication for longer periods and in the process have the opportunity to learn more about one another. Once this occurs, each person can learn differences between them and are able to accept them for who they truly are.
Creative Thinking
Conflict can also bring progress and increase creative thinking. This is common where different departments in an organization may be struggling to use the same resources. Managers can be able to sit down and develop new approaches, which will be beneficial to both departments and in some instances will save the organization more capital.
