What is the best way to deal with conflict at work?

When dealing with conflict at work, no matter what happens or how it appears initially, always assume that the other construction executive is doing the very best they can with what they have available to them. When difficulties arise always assume the best of intentions. Always assume they mean well. Resist the
temptation to become angry, impatient, or judgmental. You should deal with problems and misunderstandings as they arise. You should never go home with a problem left unresolved or a difficulty that you have not confronted and dealt with in some way.
