Kevin Mathews had just finished going over his notes from this morning's
supervisory conference when the door to his office opened and Steve Burrow
entered.
"Got a minute?" Steve asked.
"What's up?" replied Kevin.
"It's about that meeting we attended today. I wanted your reactions to it. I
think the old man has got a good point or two."
"Do you mean about getting our troops in on decisions more?"
"Yeah, and also that bit about us supervisors living in ivory towers-not
being in touch with our people and their points of view."
"Steve, I was just reviewing my notes on that meeting and trying to decide

For this discussion post, we have been tasked with evaluating what is often considered the most challenging job in management: looking into conflict resolution. Although there are many sources of conflict, we will look at the incompatible goals for discussion. Incompatible goals, by definition, occur when individuals or groups within the same organization have different plans, which can either be self-serving or departmentally based, causing conflict to occur within the team (McShane & Von Glinow, 2022). To open discussion, I would like to share a personal experience involving a team with differing goals.

He is very hard working and has a traditional mindset that believes hard work will always pay off one day. Henry, on the other hand, is a much younger employee who just joined the company a few weeks ago. Despite his inexperience, Henry is very talented. He entered the company as a fresh university graduate in business studies and was promoted to the same position as Mark within the few weeks since his entry into the company.
