Content: Conflicts can also arise when your team members don't fully understand their roles and responsibilities, blame others for their own failures or seek individual recognition. A clash of perspectives, poor communication, mistrust and personal agendas can lead to disagreements as well. Make sure you acknowledge the conflict in the first place. Ignoring it can make things worse and stall the entire project. Ask each team member to present his point of view and back up his statements with facts. Depending on the nature of the conflict, try to turn it into a debate. Keep an open mind and insist on honest dialogue. Reduced Innovation and Creativity
Employees who work in teams may hesitate to bring their own ideas to the table. Some fear criticism and judgment, while others prioritize the well-being of the team and suppress their creative tendencies. This can negatively impact innovation and keep employees from reaching their full potential.
