Completely depends on the type of conflict! Is the conflict:
- Between your direct reports?
- Between you and a cross-functional peer?
- Between you and your manager?

Listen actively. Don't just wait for your turn to talk. Really listen to what the other person is saying.

Great question. It's always a delicate balance. I find that actively listening, staying open to different perspectives, and focusing on the common goal helps in resolving conflicts while keeping the momentum going. It's a learning process for sure.
Address it head-on but keep it constructive. Sometimes a simple one-on-one can clear up misunderstandings.

Address conflicts promptly through private discussions, seeking common ground and emphasizing shared goals. Encourage open communication, active listening, and empathy. Shift the focus to solutions, involving mediation if needed. :))
I would suggest a few things from my experience leading teams:
1. Address the conflict early
2. Be respectful
3. Listen actively
4. Focus on the issue, not the person
5. Be willing to compromis
6. Get help if needed
Handling conflicts within a team while maintaining progress involves effective communication and collaboration. Encourage open discussions where team members can express their concerns and perspectives. Use active listening to understand each viewpoint and seek common ground. Set clear goals and priorities to keep the team focused on the project. If conflicts arise, address them promptly through constructive dialogue, compromise, or mediation. Emphasize the importance of the team's overall objectives, reminding everyone of the shared goal. By fostering a culture of respect and understanding, conflicts can be resolved while minimizing disruptions to the team's progress.
