Abstract

The present paper explores the multipurpose aspects of conflict resolution and skilled leadership that are essential for the smooth functioning of any group or organization. Practical conflict resolution skills enable individuals to navigate disputes and disagreements in a way that promotes understanding and cooperation. At the same time, skilled leadership is necessary to manage a group or organization effectively. Together, these two concepts play a critical role in ensuring that groups and organizations function effectively and efficiently. The paper concludes that conflict resolution is a complex process that requires a multifaceted approach. Western and Muslim approaches to conflict resolution have similarities and differences regarding their underlying principles, methods, and goals. Western approaches tend to be centered on using formal legal systems, while Muslim approaches often rely on Islamic principles and laws. Both approaches share the goal of resolving conflicts fairly and justly, and both recognize the importance of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as arbitration and mediation.
