[2] Causes of Conflict
There is miscommunication leading to unclear expectations

How often do we give instructions to someone, only to have those instructions misinterpreted? The ability to communicate is one of our most commonly used skills. As such, we sometimes take it for granted so that the words we use to communicate don't always clearly state the picture in our minds. When this occurs, errors often result that lead to frustration. Depending on a multitude of factors (stress level for one), the error sometimes results in conflict if neither person is willing to accept responsibility for it.
