In our workplace we talk about 'clearing withholds'. Rather than letting grievances fester away in silence, you grab a meeting room, have some 'robust dialogue', and clear things up so that the productive energy can flow again.

Conflict = development of conflict resolution skills. If you don't have conflict then you don't know how to navigate it when you are experiencing it. Therefore you tend to avoid it/be the peace keeper and never speak up even when it really matters to you.

Ben, I’m not sure I’m across this article. I don’t understand why players would fight at training. When you fight there is generally a winner and a loser . Is this good for a team environment?

I would only ever fight in retaliation and that generally happens as a result of bullying.

You must fight back if you are being bullied. Further my own personality is such that I never give up against a bully and tend to try to push back on them into the future ( I don’t drop it).

I’m probably saying that if I was in a team and had a fight with a bully, I would never forget about it . Is that good for the team?
