Conflict Management Is the Interventions

Conflict management is the Interventions that alter the level and form of conflict in ways that maximize its benefits and minimize its dysfunctional consequences (p.5). Home Depot's founder, Bernard L. Marcus, had the original vision for a company that would emphasize a decentralized approach to management -- relying on employee initiative within its individual stores -- and encourage high levels of employee entrepreneurial innovation, commitment, teamwork, and enthusiasm. Home Depot is managing conflict by hearing out the voices and opinions of their employees and this leaves a leadership team with confidence and sense of value to move forward. ADR can be a less hostile way to resolve a dispute, which a mediator can help the parties effectively communicate their needs and point-of-view to the other side. This can be an important advantage where the parties have a relationship to preserve (ADR).

A good manager would have stopped the issue from becoming public because that only creates uncertainty of the future of the company. There will be conflicts between managers and employees but it is up to the manager to correct the actions and resolve the problems. The management discussed the issues and kept it within the management team so it did not affect other employees. By consciously managing one's interaction with the counterpart while also monitoring behavior according to who is watching, an individual will gain control over the level of success that the person, his partner and the group as a whole can achieve (Greer and Jehn, July 2007). "When faced with public allegations that contain the risk of significant litigation, the first and most necessary step is to do a comprehensive investigation in order to obtain all the facts. The organization must proceed Systematically to gather all of the relevant information. data, and reports that it reasonably can obtain. Evaluating this material establishes how the organization will make further decisions; how it will respond to the allegations; and how it will defend itself, if necessary" (ADR).

Managers may not always agree with the people that work for him but standing up for them in a public forum in front of individuals that may not understand where each individual is coming from is what builds teams and a working relationship. Stabbing people in the back to get a task accomplished is not justifiable when it comes to forging ahead

4. Poor socio-economic background and conditions mixed with the HIV / AIDS crisis can only mean even more socio-economic and political upheaval, the regression of development and the collapse of societies: beginning with families, communities, regions and into subsequently economic social systems.
