Potential Benefits of Conflict:

• Conflict promotes growth through learning to overcome challenges together with others.
• It promotes creativity and innovation as solutions are suggested to overcome the differences between the stakeholders.
• It promotes the development of interpersonal skills since individuals strive to get along with each other in spite of their differences.
• It promotes mutual understanding of different values, aspirations, and cultures. (Sometimes people are not trying to be difficult; they just have a different mind-set.)
• It promotes social change and progress; as society changes and develops a culture unfolds.
• It promotes growth as the process of resolution overcomes the stagnation of the status quo. (Necessity is the mother of invention, and conflict is one of necessity’s prodigies.)
• It can promote originality and reflection when your viewpoint is challenged.
