- There's no way to eradicate office politics. But there are ways to keep them friendly, light and harmless. While it's commonly accepted that the attitude of an office reflects the attitude of the boss (i.e. lazy manager = lazy workers), employees have a lot of power to influence morale.

- Conflict within a nonprofit organization can be scary. At their best, nonprofits put into collective practice the personal passions and beliefs of their members. This may intensify a conflict or, conversely, cause it to be buried in the name of surface unity. Either way, intractable conflict can cause loss of funding or of leadership, or it may destabilize the system in any number of other ways. People within the organization know this and may react with fear, choosing sides or assigning blame.
For the brave leaders of a nonprofit, what does it mean to handle conflict well? To answer this question, we need first to distinguish between everyday, or discrete, conflict and noxious conflict.
