Teams and Conflict
Working in teams is a highly effective method for delivering superior project outcomes. This truism is reflected in most organisational structures. Research and our everyday experience confirm the strength, creative nature and achievements that can only be attributed to teamwork.
However, most teams are not naturally successful. Without a sense of identity and purpose and a blue print for success, teams can be a major breeding ground for conflict. Under performing teams do not always realise just how much more effective they can be and often they slip into the complacency of accepting mediocrity in the standard of their deliverables and their relationships with each other.
Whether you are a team member or team leader, if you sense that your team:
- Is in conflict;
- Is not delivering projects on time; or
- Could be producing work of a higher standard,
then it is time to engage a Workplace Conflict Resolution facilitator to help the team review and analyse where they are currently, where they need to be and how they can move forward with an achievement orientation.
A specialist Workplace Conflict Resolution facilitator will support team members to better understand themselves and each other, revise (and if necessary develop new) individual and team roles, responsibilities and accountability measures and create an agreed team vision and team code of behaviour.
Workplace Conflict Resolution can also provide coaching for your organisation’s team leaders. This coaching program aims to equip leaders with the skills to minimise conflict and effectively guide their teams based on the Workplace Conflict Resolution ’12 steps to success’ team model.
