Content: When you're by yourself, you can work at your own pace and decide on the spot what to do next. When working in a team, you may not have this freedom as more people need to be consulted regarding the task at hand. This can lead to longer decision times and missed deadlines. Let's say your team is developing a marketing strategy for a client. The graphic designer, who is responsible for creating flyers and other promotional materials, works with copywriters to put everything together. Their work first needs to be approved by the marketing specialist, the manager and other team members before being sent to the client. If something doesn't look right, they must start all over and go through this process again. Depending on the project, it can take weeks or months to get everything done. As a result, you may need to extend the deadline, which in turn, can affect customer experience. Conflicts and Disagreements in a Team
Conflicts are inevitable in a team – and they're not always a bad thing.
