My friend, Tim Sackett, has a post/video up about Failure Being The New Black. His hypothesis is that we've all been fed a load of crap when it comes to failure.

Like most, Conflict Management is not my favorite subject. Nor am I an expert as I have my own unresolved conflict currently brewing that I need to heed my own advice on. However, in Human Resources you often need to be a mediator of conflict between coworkers and manager/employee disagreements. Other times you simply have to provide advice to other managers who need to help their employees deal with conflict.
