Role of Emotional Drivers in Conflict Resolution
Revathi Turaga

The word most disliked by all managers and leaders in organizations is "conflicts". Known for disrupting harmony and creating a sense of polarity, and at times to the extent of harming interpersonal relationships, conflicts are a taboo for most managers. However, leaders soon realize that conflicts are not only unavoidable but also an integral part of the evolution and growth of any team. To leverage conflicts, leaders need to master certain competencies that help them constructively navigate their teams through the discord into collaboration. This paper explores one such competency of understanding and working with the emotional drivers of each team member. The concept of emotional drivers holds that people express ideas from their perspective, based on what drives them and what they see as important. Identifying this can help leaders bring multiple perspectives onto the table and get the team to view them holistically, thus creating collaborative outcomes.
