@haileysokol Hey Hailey! I agree that trust is an important part of conflict, because members of a team need to feel that their concerns will be heard from the other members. Conflict is positive if their is a productive resolution to the team's problems.
@TanviGa51286614 Hey Tanvi! I agree that conflict can be good and bad at times. Conflict can fuel good ideas and better the work environment. But constructive conflict can be clouded by emotion
