Conflicts can occur among people who have differing ideas or goals. Many conflicts are small and are quickly resolved. Others are serious and take time and effort to resolve. Many work conflicts occur when an employee feels a need to be incontrol of certain situations that are not part of his or her job description. This can create a power struggle. Power struggles, or conflicts over roles and responsibilities, often disrupt the work environment for everyone. Other common causes of conflict are personality differences, poor communication, and jealousy. If you are ever involved in a conflict, avoid complaining to your boss right away. Instead, schedule a time with the other people involved to talk things out, using the conflict resolution strategies. Working together to resolve, or find a solution to, a conflict can be a valuable experience. You strengthen many of the skills you need in the workplace, and you help strengthen relationships at work. Q7) Write a notice of a tree plantation programme tobe held in your college premises.
