Unresolved conflict impacts the ability of a team to work together effectively. One strategy for dealing openly with conflict includes negotiating a resolution--not dictating it. Team members have to be able to compromise, encourage each other to find common ground for new possibilities, and create an environment that values diverse perspectives.
For example, team members may need to agree to disagree on certain issues. If one member bullies the rest of the team into accepting his viewpoint, the rest of the members may resent him and not support the decision. Conversely, bullying a member with a different idea reduces trust and discourages participation. In order for everybody to feel comfortable joining in a discussion, people have to know their ideas will be valued by the group.
