Solve an interpersonal conflict at work by giving and taking feedback. Steering through personal insecurities and ego tussles, striking productive work relationships will often test you more than the core task at hand. Learn to treat conflict as a problem-solving challenge that needs to be resolved, rather than winning an argument or one-upmanship. In fact, moments of conflict are ripe opportunities to build deeper relationships—sadly, most people allow such situations to ruin relationships. This is a major source of problems: We are either too aggressive in giving feedback or too defensive in receiving it.
