Dealing with conflict between and among individuals can be one of the most frustrating and uncomfortable experiences for administrators. According to Schmidt and Tannenbaum (1960), when conflict occurs “strong feelings are frequently aroused, objectivity flies out the window, egos are threatened, and personal relationships are placed in jeopardy” (p. 107). Robbins (1974) stated that “any attempt by an administrator to alter a specific conflict position requires that he [sic] be knowledgeable of its origin. An understanding of the source improves the probability that the proper resolution or stimulation technique will be selected” (p. 29).
