As a leader of a project team, how do you typically handle conflict between team members?
Team leaders must provide effective leadership, exemplify organizational values, and ensure projects are completed properly and on time. Additionally, team leaders are responsible for resolving problems and conflicts among peers and other team members, keeping management informed about progress, and motivating team members. When individual team members are underperforming, it's the responsibility of the team leader to assist them.
"When resolving problems among team members, I typically meet with them individually and collectively to collect facts and propose a solution. I typically try to remain objective and not involve myself in the conflict itself."
