Leadership is a full-contact sport, and if you cannot address conflict in a healthy, productive fashion then you should not be in a leadership role. Unresolved conflict often results in a loss of productivity, stifles creativity, and creates barriers to cooperation. If so, you likely have issues with conflict.
