Yes, Conflict is part of life.We live with the unsettling possibility of conflict daily. We enter into conflicts reluctantly, cautiously, angrily, nervously, confidently.Conflict signals the presence of diverse points of view, which in struggle or reconciliation can spark creativity, nourish growth, jump-start productivity, and strengthen relationships.Or vice versa.
I had a conflict with one of the members during the discussion. Sometimes, My ego swelled like balloon. How it was started? It began with me, usually. I'm the bad guy in this case. I did not have any ideas how the design would be, but shu yin and beth told me that what beth presented would be the final and maybe good design for the robotic arm. When I looked at the design, I told myself it was very lousy design. Surpisingly, I used my engineering analysis like stress and shear analysis and force diagram to indicate the bad design being produced. I asked them who did this. Cindy was the one and they had no idea what 's going on. I dare to say that most of the work were done and decided by Cindy.
So, I could not do or start anything since Cindy could already do the project and I did not like to do extra work. But beth interpreted that I was being contradicting and sensed that they restricted my thinkinga which did not allow me to voice my opinions. I just said that I had no proper knowledge on the project yet hence I could make any comments
