 De Dreu and Weingart  noted an important distinction between interpersonal conflict and task conflict (defined, interpersonal conflicts are about relationship issues, whereas task conflicts are about how to handle tasks).Interpersonal conflict is generally detrimental to team cohesion, and, in turn, is destructive to team performance.While team members may correct each other, offer alternatives and argue about how to solve a problem, some level of task-related conflict can promote optimal performance.
