I came across a couple of studies about the time and resource drain that conflict imposes on organizations. 85% of employees report being involved in conflict at work. What does this mean to you?

We dread some imagined future in which a horrible result occurs. In reality though, things rarely turn out as badly as we think. When we procrastinate, we may delay some future event, but if we summon up the courage and eventually do it, how have we benefitted from the delay?
