75 Reasons for Conflict - Story From: The QuickBase Blog. Get more connected. Be more productive.

There are many reasons for conflict within a team or between teams. One way to simplify the source of the conflict is to examine whether the conflict is task-based or if it stems from a relational issue. This separation is often helpful because, generally speaking, task-based conflict is productive while relationship-based conflict is destructive to the desired outcome. Often, though, conflict is complex and doesn’t have a single source that can be pinpointed and identified as one or the other. For that, this list of 75 reasons for conflict may help you find a resolution, or at least shed some light on the matter.
