$(4$pts$)$ Candor and Conflict management are important and related because:

With candor, you must be willing to be honest with staff and be willing to hear what others tell you. It is risky though because there is a tendency to "shoot the messenger" and people are inherently wired to be distrustful, especially of their bosses. Candor will allow you to win most arguments with your staff.

Conflict management becomes necessary when there isn't honesty $/$ candor. It leads you to be reactionary and always putitng out fires but this is the life of many effective managers.

Candor is central to having a trusting relationship and helps you avoid conflict which is the hallmark of excellent management.

Candor is essential for trust; if you are being honest you will occasionally have conflict. Being able to manage conflict is essential to your job as a manager and a leader.
