The majority of human conflict stems from just three root causes—and each is preventable.
At Thrive Purpose, we help teams identify the underlying cause of conflict and provide precise, sustainable solutions using cognitive function insights. Here are the three most common root causes of conflict—and how we resolve them:
_______________________________________
1. Translation Gaps
What’s clear to one person may be the opposite—or even offensive—to another.
Each person brings a distinct set of problem-solving and decision-making abilities. Without realizing it, we often communicate in ways that feel logical to us but misaligned or dismissive to others.
The Remedy:
Understand what matters to the other person and communicate in ways that support and integrate their capabilities into the process. When we align our communication with how others solve problems and make decisions, we foster collaboration instead of conflict.

2. Need for Deeper Understanding
When we don’t understand our own strengths—or those of others—conflict fills the gap.
Without clarity, it’s easy to misinterpret differences as threats. This can lead to unnecessary competition, inefficiency, or defensiveness.
The Remedy:
By gaining insight into our own cognitive strengths and recognizing the value others bring, we unlock a more productive dynamic. Collaboration becomes easier, and conflict gives way to appreciation, confidence, and forward momentum.

3. Development Opportunity
We have so much potential that we sometimes need support to tap into all of it.
People are complex. We all have capabilities that haven’t been developed or even fully recognized. What looks like resistance may just be a growth opportunity.
The Remedy:
With the right insight and support, individuals and teams can access and develop the depth and breadth of their capability—leading to more effective, resilient performance.
