Passage Three
短文三
Most of us have been in teams or organizations where we've had conflict with the people that we're working with around the ideas or decisions that we're discussing.
我们中的大多数人都曾在团队或组织中,围绕我们正在讨论的想法或决策,与一起工作的人发生过冲突。
Conflict is natural. We all bring different life and work experiences to the table. We all have different personality preferences and tendencies.
冲突是正常的。我们每个人都带着不同的生活和工作经历。我们都有不同的个性偏好和倾向。
We're not all going to have the same ideas on how to approach policies, programs, or problems.
对于如何处理政策、计划或问题,我们的想法也不尽相同。
But too often we get caught in this place where conflict is perceived to be negative — something we want to avoid so that we can maintain the harmony of our workplace.
但是,我们往往会陷入这样一种境地,即我们认为冲突是不好的——我们想要避免冲突,以保持工作场所的和谐。
This could be because some people want to avoid conflict at all costs, after all they still have to work together. But this kind of artificial harmony isn't the answer.
这可能是因为有些人想要不惜一切代价避免冲突,毕竟他们还要一起工作。但是这种人为的和谐并不能解决问题。
Productive conflict is a vital part of teams and organizations that want to push forward and do more.
富有成效的冲突是那些想要推进和做更多事情的团队和组织的一个重要组成部分。
Without conflict, we're often stuck in this artificial harmony where people don't express potentially innovative ideas for fear that they may start conflict with others.
没有冲突我们往往会陷入这种人为的和谐之中,人们因为害怕与他人发生冲突而不敢表达潜在的创新想法。
But if you're in a place where you have a basis of trust, conflict can be extremely productive. It can lead to increased innovation and greater trust on teams.
但是,如果你处于一个有信任基础的地方,冲突可以非常富有成效。它可以提高团队的创新能力和信任度。
It may be an uncomfortable process, but good leaders and healthy teams recognize that productive and healthy conflict is an important part of how they function.
冲突这个过程可能让人不自在,但是好的领导者和健康的团队都会认识到,富有成效和正常合理的冲突是团队运作的一个重要组成部分。
