Conflict refers to the disagreement or argument about something important. Conflict can be bad or it can be good, depending upon how it is being handled. For simple, the conflict in the Larry David skit resulted in a loss. The couple in the Larry David skit experienced a conflict regarding their dinner. One was asking to go out for a drink at the separate place before dinner while others were getting no sense in this. Thus, their disagreement resulted in cancellation of going out for the dinner. This kind of conflict is always bad and requires the use of some compromise ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"JllM1nbC","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Hopkins & Yonker, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Hopkins & Yonker, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2750,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/BQYG535M"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/BQYG535M"],"itemData":{"id":2750,"type":"article-journal","title":"Managing conflict with emotional intelligence: Abilities that make a difference","container-title":"Journal of Management Development","page":"226-244","volume":"34","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"Hopkins","given":"Margaret M."},{"family":"Yonker","given":"Robert D."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Hopkins & Yonker, 2015). If a couple has gone for some compromise then they had an outside dinner instead of ordering take out. Moreover, conflict is not always bad and in many situations can bring many positive results. For example, James Conway's talk is provoking the massacre so to bring modifications in the organization. Disagreement or outrage will lead to changes and new strategies ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"wD6WYYZS","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Rahim, 2017)","plainCitation":"(Rahim, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2752,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/RGQQBUH6"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/RGQQBUH6"],"itemData":{"id":2752,"type":"book","title":"Managing conflict in organizations","publisher":"Routledge","ISBN":"0-203-78648-3","author":[{"family":"Rahim","given":"M.

I agree that conflict in real sense has extended nature and can result in serious agreement or disagreement. People can have a conflict with anyone at any time. For example, there can be a conflict with family members, friends, and coworkers and even with strangers. The analysis of all these conflicts later reveals that these would have been avoided if people had taken a deep analysis of situations ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"uFvXBPEz","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(McKibben, 2017)","plainCitation":"(McKibben, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2749,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/KKJ3ZWMF"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/KKJ3ZWMF"],"itemData":{"id":2749,"type":"article-journal","title":"Conflict management: importance and implications","container-title":"British Journal of Nursing","page":"100-103","volume":"26","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"McKibben","given":"Laurie"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (McKibben, 2017). The deep analysis gives better choices in case of conflict. The positive effects of conflict can be brought into different industries such as in healthcare settings with the use of appropriate strategies ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"aId6SQM1","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Almost et al., 2016)","plainCitation":"(Almost et al., 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2748,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/MQDQ3QZR"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/MQDQ3QZR"],"itemData":{"id":2748,"type":"article-journal","title":"Managing and mitigating conflict in healthcare teams: an integrative review","container-title":"Journal of advanced nursing","page":"1490-1505","volume":"72","issue":"7","author":[{"family":"Almost","given":"Joan"},{"family":"Wolff","given":"Angela C."},{"family":"Stewart‐Pyne","given":"Althea"},{"family":"McCormick","given":"Loretta G."},{"family":"Strachan","given":"Diane"},{"family":"D'souza","given":"Christine"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Almost et al., 2016). If Larry David had listened and opened for more suggestions, then the situation between him and his wife would have been averted. Therefore, the most important strategy regarding taking advantage of conflict is to be open to different suggestion, then analyze the situation and make the best decision. In healthcare, this strategy can reduce the number of medical errors effectively.
