The 90-Minute Team Friction Fix
When interpersonal conflict slows down work
About this session
When interpersonal friction turns into a bottleneck, work slows down while team members avoid difficult conversations. This session moves the group through a two-step process to identify the root of the tension and establish a set of documented commitments for how they will interact moving forward.
Why it works
The structure forces a shift from personal grievances to the specific points where workflows fail. By focusing on observable behaviors and shared outcomes, it prevents the discussion from spiraling into blame and instead prioritizes concrete agreements that people can actually follow.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 2-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
HR Leaders, People Ops
