Tracey,
I understand why conflict takes place when people do not show up to work on time. It is difficult being a man down, while still trying to get the normal duties complete. Furthermore, it is great that you do all that you can to learn what you can to not only better your team, but yourself as well. It is also great that you have different conflict styles so that you are able to use an appropriate style within different conflicts. Likewise, I agree that conflict is needed in order for growth to take place. I also agree that if conflict were nonexistent then people would lose their ability to use communication as a way to help better each other through constructive feedback.
