Introduction
What is conflict? Well, the Oxford dictionary defines it as:
•Fighting, quarrel, struggle, disagreement, difference of opinion
•Conflict is generally defined as ‘a clash between hostile or opposing elements or ideas’
•Can vary from a mild disagreement to emotion-packed confrontations
Conflicts occur daily in our lives. Some can vary from a minor disagreement between
individuals or groups to a major extreme situation with life-threatening elements. Being a
project manager or team leader these conflicts are especially rampant and relevant in the
project environment.

Conclusion
Needless to say, conflicts are everywhere, though we may not be able to prevent them
from happening, we certainly can control and minimize them. One of the primary
methods of reducing conflicts is to perform careful project planning. Once the project
plan, contributed by major key stakeholders, is established, it's only the implementation
that a project manager will carry out based on the project plan so that every team member
will commit themselves according to the plan, in this way, minimum deviations can be
avoided and less fire fighting is involved. The project manager by nature of position has
authority that can bring the conflicting parties together to resolve the conflicts. And
sometimes some cases can be resolved by personally making decisions there and then.
Consequently, the project manager can use the knowledge and managerial skills to
influence some conflict cases. It is only by understanding sources of conflict and applying
available power to deal with it that these undesirable situations can turn around.
