How to handle team conflict
It’s Tactical Tuesday!
Here is the Thought, Tip, and Tool of the week...
___________________________
The Thought
Did you know… "Teams that have open and honest communication are 2.5 times more likely to be high-performing," according to a study by Gallup.
Handling conflict openly and with respect can actually increase team engagement and performance, making difficult situations opportunities for growth.
Quote
"The best teams are not those with no conflict, but those who know how to navigate it." – Patrick Lencioni
___________________________
The Tip
Remember to… Normalize conflict as part of team dynamics. Instead of avoiding tension, address it head-on. Ask questions like, "What’s going on here?" to open up a conversation. Show your team it’s okay to disagree and still work towards common goals. Encourage collaboration over confrontation, and frame the conflict as an opportunity to grow stronger together.
