Conflict, while often avoided, is not necessarily bad. In fact, conflict can be good for organisations because it encourages open-mindedness and helps avoid the tendency toward group thinking that many organisations fall prey to.

It is argued that conflict builds relationships, conflict opens minds, and conflict beats stagnation. How is that possible? Examine and explain using relevant examples.
