Understanding Conflict
Description
Observe how conflicts can develop within diverse teams, develop your ability to flag non-inclusive behaviour and practise relationship-building skills.
Florence has come to you with a problem with Abeeku, another team member. She wants you to help her resolve her difficulties, but first, you need to understand what’s going on. The next day, you’re having a coffee with Abeeku, who has asked for some help checking the accuracy of his work. When Florence discovers this, she feels side-lined, and a conflict erupts. Later, you asked Florence and Abeeku to join you to debrief on what happened. This is your chance to begin resolving the argument.
