Do you avoid dealing with conflict until you must enter the situation to keep a disaster from happening? (194-5)

Addressing conflict and healing offenses should be a priority for every leader. Read Matthew 5:23-24 and 18:15-17.

One thing is certain: Every leader will face relational conflicts. People may disagree because they have conflicting personalities or different agendas but they will disagree. Any leader that tries to avoid dealing with relational conflicts will only add to the problem. During the mentoring process for His disciples Jesus addressed the topic. There may be no clearer passage in the Gospels on conflict resolution than Matthew 18. When Jesus addressed the problem He tackled it head on.
