Hai...
Last week I attended a 2 days seminar on Managing
Conflicts In Projects. It is very interesting since I’m currently handling a
project and by attending this seminar I do realized that we are actually facing
conflict without knowing that it is a conflict.
What Is
Conflict?
In general, conflict is a disagreement through
which the parties involved perceive a threat to their needs, interests or
concerned.
Conflict always relates with two parties, it must
be specific and conflict always about people. That’s why we actually never had a
conflict with machines.
There a 2 types of conflicts; Constructive
Conflict and Destructive Conflicts.
Constructive
Conflict
It is good to have this kind of conflict.
Constructive conflict can opens up communication, brings out new ideas as well
as helping you to grow as a person.
Destructive
Conflicts
In most cases, destructive conflict will bring no
changes, it will destroy morale and will create irresponsible behaviour.
Why Does
Conflict Occur?
Conflict might occur due to fear, different
expectation, different knowledge, poor communication, misunderstanding,
perceived oppression and stress.
Sources of
Conflicts in Project
In most cases, personality, cost and technical
opinion will be the less common sources of conflict but human resources,
priorities and schedules will be the most common sources that create conflict
in most projects.
For this time being, this is what I can update in
my blog. There are actually lots of things that can be discussed in relating
with conflicts in projects. Wait for my upcoming update and until then, thank
you for reading.
I do appreciate your comments so then we can share
our knowledge.
