If we don\u2019t learn how to deal with conflict, the danger is when conflict arises, the situation will soon escalate into something destructive that causes long-term damage to relationships and teamwork.<\/p>\n<p>Most project teams are thrust together and expected to get the job done as quickly as possible.&nbsp; This often leaves little time to identify and agree to a set of behaviors and expectations as how team members will act when dealing with conflict.&nbsp; As a result, most project teams must share a common understanding:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Everyone on the team is unique, with distinctive pmembers should identify ways to mitigate discord with which everyone can live<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Establish a conflict resolution process that is acceptable to everyone on the team.&nbsp; In most cases, a 4-step process is all that is needed:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Individuals will try to resolve the conflict with each other<\/li>\n<li>If two individuals cannot resolve the conflict, the team leader will intervene<\/li>\n<li>If the team leader cannot facilitate resolution, an outside facilitator will mediate<\/li>\n<li>Once the conflict is resolved, other team members will be apprised of the outcome<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Conflict between individuals that remains unresolved tends to escalate until each party attempts to defend the other.&nbsp;
