3-4 paragrahs Cohesive rsponse

Significant resources are expended when there is conflict in the workplace, which often results from failing to properly manage difficult people who work there. Managers are often put in the middle of dealing with difficult personality type and the various types of conflict that can result. When this is unsuccessful, a great deal of energy and resources are wasted and the organization may lose people due to poor morale (or worse). Thus finding out how you deal with these co-workers and employees and learning strategies that will help you, as a manager, is critical.
