The Advantages and Disadvantages of Conflict at Work

July 25, 2018 | MIT Sloan Management Review | Leadership

Conflict can be a source of creativity and new ideas, or a weight that drags down people’s emotions and productivity. This collection of articles from MIT Sloan Management Review looks at how to deal with strong emotions in the workplace, how to manage divergent points of view, and how to make sure that the company doesn’t fall victim to the “Immutable Law of the Ex.”

Articles included with this collection:

The Smart Way to Respond to Negative Emotions at Work by Christine M. Pearson

Embracing a Strategic Paradox by Toshiro Wakayama and Karen LaPierre

How Workplace Fairness Affects Employee Commitment by Matthias Seifert, Joel Brockner, Emily C. Bianchi, and Henry Moon

The Dangers of Disgruntled Ex-Employees by Federica Pazzaglia, Karan Sonpar, Pablo Martin de Holan and Scott Flynn

How to Resolve Board Disputes More Effectively by Ralph Hasson
