Answer / bj

Have a one on one with the team member and in a friendly
manner elicit information from him regarding the problems
he/she has with you. These could be symptoms of a bigger
problem pertaining to perception or reality.

Analyze each of the these very objectively encouraging the
member to speak up without having to worry about any
consequences. (In many instances, the members would not like
to divulge critical information which would be useful in
resolving the issue. This could stem from fear or un-easiness).

If I have another line of thought, discuss the same with
examples, to help the member understand your point of view
;or if there is some issue which is an area of improvement
-acknowledge it and thank him for making you aware of the
issue and helping me improve.

Pursue the issues to resolution by gaining trust from the
member. This will help the member become more productive and
also reduce non productive stress in the team

Answer / yogesh

We agree to disagree. Healthy conflicts are always welcome

Answer / ashika

Any conflict is best resolved by discussing the issue 1-2-1
rather than avoiding it.
The moment I sense that there is tension created I will
have a meeting with that subordinate and will ask him his
side of the story. We will have a discussion where I will
try and reason him his point of view and also explain him
our strategy. I will consider his idea and if appropritate
will implement the same.
Due to any problem the work should not be affected in any
way. He shud be informed that next time any kind of
suggestion will be open to discussion.

If I see a prob. with my sub-ordinate, definitely I will

Answer / indranil bhattacharya

I will just place myself to his position and will try to
understand the situation. If the problem is related to
personal issues, then need to talk to him/her personally and
if needed I'm ready to compromise myself in some cases for
the sake of the project as well as the team. If the problem
is with him due to his fault, then just point out the
problem and clearly state him to rectify him.
