Conflict can be defined as a “strong disagreement between people, groups, etc., that results in often angry argument” and “a difference that prevents agreement: disagreement between ideas, feelings, etc.” (Merriam-Webster, n.d). This paper will describe a conflict I faced at work with a client and an in depth analysis using Sakichi Toyoda’s 5 Whys analysis tool.
I am a recruitment consultant and my job is to find the right candidates to fill my clients’ vacancies. As an agency we charge our clients when they successfully hire a candidate through us. We expect payment for our services the day the candidate starts. My conflict with a client occurred at the beginning of this year; I discovered they had hired a candidate behind our back in 2013 after informing us the position had been restructured. A bill was immediately sent

Conflict: A client secretly took on one of our candidates after we discovered this and billed them the client was refusing to pay the agency fees.
Why? At first the client denied knowledge of our services not being free then they did not believe they should not have to pay the bill since the candidate was with them for almost a year.
Why? The client believed our fees were solely based on us assisting them in the recruitment process and we could not charge them if they maintained contact with the candidate of interest, however we charge based on introduction.
Why? The Client had not fully understood our Fees, Terms and Conditions which are sent electronically. The client was not required to confirm acceptance before we began the work.
Why? It is a 14 page document and most clients just look at the fees portion and they is no requirement of acceptance from them in a written or verbal form in order for them to receive CVs from us.
Why? The document outdated and as an organisation we assume clients are aware of agency

Sec. 10.28 of the Treasury Department Circular No. 230 states that the practitioner must return any records of the client that are needed for the proper compliance with his or her tax obligations. The practitioner may not refuse to comply with this section even if the client has not paid for the services provided. In such case the practitioner may only return the documents necessary for filing of the return but must still provide a reasonable access to any records the client may need in order to comply with the Federal tax obligations. “Any records” include all electronic and written documents previously provided to the practitioner by the client as well as any information prepared by the client or a third party in the process.

Although the parties dispute the timing of the request, it is undisputed that Plaintiff requested documentation of all income derived from Defendant’s provision of medical services, regardless of location, for purposes of the audit under the Recruitment Agreement. Based upon the contention that he was not obligated to report his Beckley income as part of his “Cash Collections” under the Recruitment Agreement, Defendant refused to provide any documents related to his Beckley cash collections as part of this audit process. Defendant did provide financial information to the auditor, including bank statements and records, related to Beckley Vascular and Vein Institute, PLLC, which included information related to the income derived from Defendant’s provision of medical services in
I have been very fortunate to have Bryan Lispito and Angela Fattizzo work on behalf of my Family. The work Braden Lespisto has done was exemplary as was the results to the case. He and his Legal Assistant Angela Fattizzo never made me feel that I was just a regular client.

As nurses, it is imperative that we have skills to deal with conflict we encounter throughout the day. Some conflicts are easily handled with simple solutions; other disagreements can persist for weeks or even months and never be handled in a proper way to resolve the situation. The later kind of situation can create resentment, anger, and animosity between employees or colleagues. In this paper I will describe a conflict situation with resolution strategies used by the confronter, discuss other ways to resolve the conflict, and discuss the conflict theory most beneficial to use with a diverse group of people.
Conflicts are more common than not in this day and age. You can have a conflict in a work or school environment over anything. In order to fix most conflicts there has to be an open communication. Lack of communication can cause more problems than fix them.
This paper will discuss how to diagnose a conflict using various conflict models using a case study that involves a workplace conflict between two individuals. Included will be detailed characteristics and attributes of the parties involved and how they may affect the conflict. Confidentiality is important in the workplace and will be discussed in regards to the case study. Resolution solutions that a practitioner may use will be suggested to assist in resolving the conflict. Conflict resolution can be a difficult task but if a practitioner implements tools like conflict models than conflict can be undoubtedly resolved.
What is conflict? Even something as basic as a universal definition for the word conflict seems to vary from source to source. A literature review focusing on conflict defined it as “the interaction of interdependent people who perceive incompatibility and the possibility of interference from others as a result of this incompatibility” (Brinkert 2010). Often times the disagreement results not from a concrete difference, but rather a difference in perception (Ellis & Abbott 2012). One of the most important factors effecting conflict management is the resolution style used. The most often used tool for classifying how conflict is managed is the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (Iglesias & Vallejo 2012).
