Conflict is a difference of opinion. The leader must devise ways to deal with conflicts in the team. The goal is to promote healthy discussion that does not lead to division in the team. Team members come from different departments and therefore may have different opinions on addressing the problem. The leader should be able to reconcile different opinions into a single strategy. In these cases, negotiation skills become vital (Harrison, 1971). The leader must negotiate with the team member to find a balance in the decision. Furthermore, the decision made by the team must be presented to the management and approved. The leader must convince management that the proposal is feasible and that its implementation will be beneficial to the organization. The leader's ability to negotiate for resources will increase the success of the project
