Transition is the word of the day

It makes perfect sense that there would be a transition team for Bush and Obama. Our text book says, "A productive balance is required." Conflict management is at its peak and the press is instigating every move. They say the Obama's team is reviewing President Bush's executive orders on stem cell research, oil and gas drilling, and more. Is this the beginning of Cooperative Conflict? I know we are past the Iceberg of Conflict, but somehow it has to be part of this process. Barack Obama seems to be quite skilled in the Iceberg of Conflict. I am sure that as he learns more his perception of conflict will change. He is the perfect example of how to explore your iceberg. It feels great to have someone to look up to.
