Today’s organizations are faced with difficult challenges.  They are expected to provide higher levels of productivity, while at the same time, become cost efficient.  The consumer involved with health care has become more knowledgeable and they expect more.  In addition to these demands, employees are becoming more professional and want to have their opinions heard.  Management is in need of some techniques and methods for successfully managing conflict.  No one wants to pay for turf!
