9.“We don’t want any conflict.”[xxv] Some people would rather keep the peace at all costs, even if it is a hindrance to getting to the root of real problems and concerns. This reminds me of my extended family coming over for a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. We avoid discussing politics at all costs because we know it will cause tensions to rise. Luckily, in our case, we aren’t avoiding solving problems over the dinner table like some organizations do when they avoid conflict. We are simply trying to ensure that everyone will get up from the table still speaking to one another.
