Business: The Conflict Free Organization
By Nick Arrizza, M.D.
Yes, I know that the title may have either spooked you or made you laugh but I’m glad that you made it past that initial reaction because if you're a manager this may be one of the most important articles that you'll read.

There are individuals who think that is not only unavoidable in an organization it is the "creative driving force" that keeps it afloat.

Well I'd like to dispel both of these beliefs here and now.

What is consumed when a situation is in progress?

Well, energy of course!

Whose energy? The energy of those involved in the conflict. If that energy is meant to be directed at some more creative goal like moving the organization in a positive direction then it is also the organizational creative life energy that is being consumed. After all the organizational energy resources are dictated by the energy of its employees, correct?

So in this light "conflict" is just like the friction that exists in you car. Friction has only one purpose, if you can call it that. That purpose is to consume energy and convert it into wasted heat energy or entropy that then can do no work. In other words it reduces the efficiency of the energy conversion process in your car.

In the same way "conflict" reduces the efficiency in which your organizational energy resources are converted into viable products and/or services.

No matter how you look at it this is what happens whenever you have occurring.

Now as I said some believe

that can be productive. For instance isn't that why teams and team work originally came into vogue? Isn't it thought that having many individuals in a room together "fighting" with each other over their differences is supposed to create wonderful new insights?

Well have you ever been in such a situation? How does it feel to be there? If you're conscious enough to remember the feelings you likely recall some or all of the following; feeling angry, frustrated, tired or drained of energy, doubting yourself, inadequate, ganged up on, vulnerable, anxious, confused, having trouble concentrating, stressed out, hurt, and so on.

So what is this a description of? Well it's essentially that of an individual who is experiencing "trauma". Yes, trauma!

Emotional trauma has been shown to reduce emotional and physical well being, increase stress levels, reduce creativity, reduce energy levels, accelerate burnout in employees, lead to indecisiveness, increase rates of anxiety & depression, reduce motivation levels, and yes, reduce performance!

So what ever little creativity was "squeezed" out of that team session it came at a very high price if there was a lot of present.

So is it possible to have a "conflict free" organization? If so what are the benefits?

Yes!

The benefits include the following:

Enthusiastic, confident, resilient and risk averse individuals who work with each other in an effortless, creative, passionate, energetic, exuberant, and exceptionally purposeful and productive manner.

How is this possible? Well through a new organizational coaching modality called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP) it is possible to essentially take the "friction" out of the organization.

This is done through individual and group coaching to help individuals become aware of and address the unconsciously held beliefs that originally create the potential for in the first place.

You see, it is these beliefs which lie dormant in each individual that act like "emotional landmines" (please see my article of the same title) and that set off energy wasting conflicts.
