This area in the Manchester school builds upon the second premise: Not only do the levels of the conflict resolvers matter, but their personal interactions matter too.

This premise hinges directly on the language employed in the attempted resolved conflict. Even if the right people are involved, and they do not have interpersonal conflicts that interfere with the conflict resolution, resolution will not happen if the parties are employing too aggressive or too timid language.
Language is the only tool in conflict resolution, and applying it to our situations, any conflict that arises presents both sides the opportunity to gain an advantage in negotiation through language. On the flip side, the wrong rhetoric or language could cause the entire negotiation to collapse.

Working with and managing diverse teams can be rewarding, stimulating creativity and even leading to greater satisfaction for some employees (Stahl, Maznevski, Voigt & Jonsen, 2010, p. 690).

However, the research on cultural diversity in workgroups yields some troubling and contradictory results. Recent research shows that diversity does not
