Management of Conflict and Consensus
Chapter 8 discusses teaming in organizations and on page 248 the topic of conflict and consensus is brought up. I have much experience with this considering I work in a teaming environment every day. Everybody has their own ideas and opinions that won't exactly agree with everyone else's ideas and opinions which can create much conflict. Teams also need to learn that when conflict occurs they need to work together and come up with a consensus or something that can satisfy everyone's wants and needs so that everyone is happy. It is very important that everyone can agree upon something, I know this on a first hand basis because if not everyone can agree on one thing and someone is left unhappy this can affect their work performance. This could also show favoritism among people in a team if one person's wishes are granted and another person's aren't. There needs to be a balance among team members, fairness that way everyone feels they have an impact on the team and are making a difference.

Conflict and consensus is problem that many groups face and will continue to do so. The correct balance between the two can serve a team in a positive way or in a negative. Teams who value and respect each other usually can handle tiring to come to a consensus. When a group is able to do this, they usually end up doing a good job at what ever the task was. Having a collective team where everyone is appreciated, as you said, makes a team very strong.
