Why is conflict/challenge needed in multi-discipline teams?
It is part of rejuvenation and growth; it can assist in re-evaluation, stimulate new ideas and clarify misunderstandings that have occurred
What factors escalate conflict?
Competition for resources; task interdependence and jurisdictional ambiguity; communication barriers (personality); differences in teams (heterogeneity); group size (small groups of 4-8 better due to more interaction and challenging each other)
key dysfunctional patterns in teams
Enmeshed-
Inward looking and rejecting outside influence, not open to change and static
Disengaged-
acting against perceived threat in the group, develops a culture of mistrust
Stable and detouring coalitions-
Strengthening a sub-system but weakening the ability of group members; defusing stress between members by designating another as a source of the problem
Triangulation-
Two opposing parties attempts to join with the same person against the other
