𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

Let’s say — Ravi leads a cross-functional team that looks perfect on paper.
• Polite emails.
• Friendly Zoom calls.
• Zero open arguments.

But behind the scenes?
• Marketing feels ignored.
• Operations feels blamed.
• Sales feels misunderstood.

No one’s talking — but everyone’s simmering.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺?
The team has mistaken niceness for unity.
There’s no healthy conflict — only quiet resentment.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗼 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿:
As Ravi’s coach, you introduce him to the Conflict Transformation Model:

1. Surface It – Normalize disagreement. Conflict isn't bad — silence is.
2. Separate People from the Problem – Use “I” statements. Not “You always mess this up.”
3. Seek Shared Goals – Refocus on outcomes, not egos.
4. Create Conflict Guidelines – Define how the team fights fairly.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
• Ravi hosts a “Let’s Talk the Tension” session.
• Each team member shares one friction point — respectfully.

• The team co-creates a Conflict Charter:
- Pause before reacting
- Attack issues, not individuals
- Resolve, don’t revisit

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁?
• Unspoken frustrations come to light
• Misunderstandings are cleared
• Team dynamics shift from avoidance to accountability

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:
✓ Builds trust through truth
✓ Channels energy into solutions
✓ Turns friction into fuel

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
If a team avoids conflict, they also avoid progress.

Train managers to create safe spaces for real conversations — because great teams don’t avoid tension, they transform it.
