How do you tell productive conflict from useless conflict on teams?

Conflict is a necessary and healthy part of progress. But it is easy for a team to get into a cycle of counterproductive and distracting conflict. As a leader it is your job to help your team stay in productive conflict. 

I had the pleasure of asking Bob Burg, Dawn Bell and Mohan Ananda to share their experience with conflict while creating/running high performance teams.

Mohan gave us the most succinct talking point: "Productive conflict creates innovation. Useless conflict creates confusion."

Do you agree or disagree with our takeaways? What would you have added to the conversation?
