The Hazards of Unresolved Conflict

Hey All, I am hoping you all have taken some time to look over your MBTI supplemental reports on resolving conflict.  A couple of you have taken the Thomas-Kilman Conflict Resolution Style inventory. That is still available to whomever wants it.  Here are some notes from our last meeting on resolving conflict:

Whose responsibility is it to address conflict?   Everyone's.
Who typically does: No one.

What are the hazards of allowing conflict to go unaddressed? Here is what you all came up with:

1) Animosity that festers
2) Explosion (Aggression) or Passive-Agression (Hidden Aggression)
3) The issue grows in magnitude (from molehill to mountain)
4) It becomes irresolvable
5) Broken trust (which has a cascading effect)
6) Broken respect (each of which lead to lack of productivity)
7) Lost time
8) Lack of teamwork
9) Lack of individual engagement
10) Resentment
