What level of conflict can organizations tolerate 2?

In my last post, I asked a question about the level of conflict tolerable in an organization. Specialists have different opinion about the issue. Some say that having different opinions should be tolerated because it is beneficial to organizations. Others argue that everybody should be given opportunity to give their opinion during meeting. However, some specialists think that conflict should not be permitted because it can bring hostility in the team. Those who accept some sort of conflict says that the stated conflict is nothing but argument. The conflict is not physical because this type of conflict can never be tolerated. Whatever has to be discussed has to be done in the meeting room. As soon as the meeting is over, the decision of the majority should be followed.

     The take home from the discussion is that leaders should transform what is usually considered conflict into an argument in the meeting room. In this way, the person is given the chance to explain himself instead of being isolated. Think about this!
