RE: The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team: Dysfunction Two
One of the biggest problem in getting a team to achieve success at all level is the Fear of Conflict. In cases were there is or are persons who see themselves as the Alpha et Omega instead of team mate, then there start to be a problem. Team members will by all chance try to get themselves of this person and their numerous issues and at this point, when the person raise suggestions that are detrimental to the organisation, the team mates just let him be so as to get off trouble and with this, the team is building trouble for themselves already.
raising the elephant in the room is the best way to get this off, giving the team a moment to share what they do not like or support among them.
Hi @gbenga - you are right. And for many of us who are not so extrovert, it is difficult dealing with dominant alpha-type personalities. However, we need to be brave and speak our mind. We should not be afraid of the conflict in an environment where we can build trust.
Thanks for your comment. Stay safe my friend.
