How does conflict affect change?

Conflict is something that can be both a positive and a negative. It is a positive when conflict creates a discussion about an issue. This is positive because a dialogue is created about the issue that conflict sprang up around. Through this dialogue the issue can be solved and a change for the good will occur. Conflict can be negative when it is not handled correctly. This is done when people are offended or the conflict escalates much more than it should. When done right conflict can make major changes to an organizational some of them good and some of them bad.

One of the most difficult things you can go through as a chapter leader, in my opinion, is dealing with risk management violations. This is because it takes a lot of courage and integrity to admit that mistakes were made and that the chapter as a whole has to take responsibility. If I was the chapter leader of an organization that had risk management violations up against it, I would notify nationals about the situation that the chapter is currently in. Then I would gather a group of brothers that would be executive officers and various other well-respected brothers within the chapter. This group of individuals would create a plan that fits in with the values and morals of our chapter to properly handle this situation. If members are known to be not living up to our creed and values then we put them up to a membership review to determine if they truly fit with what we want in our organization. Then next we would go up to the Judicial Board of Review and hear the sanctions against us and accept the violations that we could possibly be found guilty of. We take this sanction as a learning lesson and to avoid making the same mistake that was made in the past.
