Competition between departments can affect productivity and organizational culture.
Structured communication and early conflict resolution can prevent disagreements from becoming personal.
Teams often have different priorities and performance measures, which can create misunderstandings. Helping departments understand each other's responsibilities can improve collaboration.
Conflict should be treated as an opportunity to identify problems rather than something that must simply be suppressed.
“Healthy organizations address conflict before it becomes culture.
