This guide provides the antidote to the common tendency of conflict, giving managers, team leaders, members, and facilitators the practical support they need to battle the nice trap and start getting results.

Conflict naturally exists in most organizations--even in those that never make waves. In the case of the more subdued teams, author Brian Miller explains that theres a much deeper problem going on: the conflict doesnt go away, but instead it manifests itself in passive-aggression, mediocrity, and a molasses-like inability to get anything done.

• provide clear and honest communication,
• and discover how to lean in to the kind of conflict that drives innovation and quality without hurting feelings or creating enemies.
