When you experience conflict with another staff member, speak up and look for solutions. Friction between team members is natural in any workplace. When it happens, don’t brood about it or let it stress you out. Address the problem in a straightforward, open-minded way. Let the other person know you want to eliminate the cause of friction, offer ideas you think might help, and ask the other party for his or her ideas. Collaborate on a solution. Everyone will feel better and work together more effectively.
