What is Definition?

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

Conflict and its management
As an efficient manager, it is not about avoiding conflict entirely, but rather working within the context of conflict to find effective solutions. No matter how hard we try, no manager can ever avoid conflict entirely. Thus, it is important to shape potential conflict into something that can positively motivate a team to increase efficiency and productivity, a style of management which can prove difficult, but possible. This was exactly the case in a previous conflict where a botched Navy inspection created conflict within my team because of a lack of communication and an improper execution of structure. This created a sense of conflict and disappointment within the troops; yet, through an effective management style, they were motivated to increase their abilities and productivity as a way to resolve the conflict at hand.
