"The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it."
- Dale Carnegie
While this quote from Dale Carnegie may be true in some instances, I don't think that all conflict can or should be avoided. I feel like trying to avoid conflict will suppress many great ideas from group members. Someone might not share an idea because they feel like it will start an argument. Also, avoiding conflict may keep people from voicing their opinion when they disagree with another member of the group.
I feel like our group has been great at minimizing conflict and when someone disagrees, we come to a quick solution that pleases everyone.

But what about groupthink? Coming to a resolution too fast might not be good either.
