    The presence of conflicts at work is common and generally not a bad thing. It's critical that managers and staff people have conflict management skills so that disputes don't negatively impact team dynamics or corporate operations. Understanding another person's perspective and coming up with solutions to an issue that are advantageous to both parties are key components of conflict management.

    Got a link to someone who might help us with that?

    The way I'm accustomed to such conflicts being resolved is someone saying "Well, I'm the boss." Then we all get back to work.

    And, lucky for me, that's 16 years in the past.

    Actually, I think "conflict management" doesn't work today like it did years ago. When I was in the Navy, I learned very fast, starting in Boot Camp/Basic Training "do as you are told and there won't be a conflict". IOW, if a Navy Officer or higher ranking enlisted person gives an order, bottom line is.........do it!
