In The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict\, P
riya Parker explains that we can&rsquo\;t form and grow effective relation
ships without a fight. She rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or t
hat good groups don&rsquo\;t fight. All groups change and evolve\; indeed\
, it&rsquo\;s because people disagree that good groups flourish.
As she did in the now-classic \;The Art of Gathering\, Parker draws on her far-reaching exp
erience as a conflict facilitator\, her own detailed research\, and real-w
orld examples to lay out the ways that people can identify disputes\, dete
rmine how to address them\, and what to do if they are insurmountable. Whe
ther people disagree in the boardroom or the locker room\, on a playground
or in church\, online or in person\, conflict is a part of life\, and und
erstanding healthy conflict and how to harness its power is more important
than ever. \;The Art of Fighting \;is a vital primer to help a
ll of us understand how to do that.
