Explain how the defensive climate created by the conflict will affect the workplace relationship

Emma and Isabella attend the front office at an urgent care facility. They have worked together for more than 5 years and enjoy collaborating on projects. Their manager has asked them to collaborate by creating a team training for effective communication in the workplace. Emma and Isabella will be responsible for creating and delivering the training to the staff at the facility. Emma feels that it is important to provide hands-on learning while Isabella feels lecture would be the most appropriate format for this team. Emma defends her point by saying that her sister has been a teacher for 10 years, and she has proven that hands-on learning will increase the engagement and likelihood of remembering the training material. Isabella feels that Emma does not account for her 10 years of experience in the medical office and voices her disgust with Emma for her lack of appreciation for her experience. Isabella storms off and leaves Emma to finish the work.
