What an amazingly detailed and above all also visually pleasing presentation of conflict.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;As a project manager, I am usually more interested in getting &amp;quot;down to the facts&amp;quot; as they relate to my projects. But your presentation is so broad and interesting that I found myself going all the way through. I like the review at the end as well as the &amp;quot;Stress relieve kit&amp;quot;... :-)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Allow me to point your readers to an episode of The PM Podcast, in which I discuss politics &amp;amp; conflict on projects with Brian Irwin:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://www.thepmpodcast.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=178&amp;Itemid=9" REL="nofollow"&gt;The episode can be heard here...&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I think that your presentation in combination with this interview will give any PM a fabulous insight into how conflict, stress and politics work and also what to do about it. (Maybe they can attach the stress relieve kit to any and all work package assignments... ;-)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks for posting this!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15466608/199660684761294652/comments/default/5710297818344040172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15466608/199660684761294652/comments/default/5710297818344040172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.betterprojects.net/2008/09/project-management-process-8-conflict.html?showComment=1222556700000#c5710297818344040172' title=''/><author><name>Cornelius Fichtner, PMP</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00926844407766963901</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.betterprojects.net/2008/09/project-management-process-8-conflict.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466608.post-199660684761294652' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15466608/posts/default/199660684761294652' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1608068203'/></entry></feed>
