Tug of war made a brief appearance in the Olympics too, but was discontinued after 1924. In 1988, the game made an appearance on 5,000 won commemorative coins for the Seoul Olympics. Today there are tug of war associations all over the world, and the Tug of War International Federation was founded in 1968.
However, you don't need to physically play tug of war to know what the game is about. Nearly all of us are engaged in some form of this tussle every day. Tug of war enters our daily lives in the form of conflict - whether in the workplace or at home.
Work and Conflict
Conflict is to the workplace what salt is to food - an essential and inevitable ingredient. Conflict arises out of a difference of interests, goals, or opinions and often breeds fresh ideas and perspectives. However, conflict can also give rise to tensions in the workplace, fragmentation in teams, and animosity between people.
While conflict cannot be avoided, it is important to know how to resolve conflicts in a manner that leads to a win-win situation for all parties.
A good conflict resolution strategy can strengthen the working relationship between conflicting parties, while an inappropriate strategy can cause dissatisfaction and can disrupt work.
In this simulation, you will resolve conflict in a team that is working toward a goal. You will apply various conflict resolution strategies and then use the collaborative process to provide a forum to the conflicting parties to negotiate and resolve the conflict.
