Most office environments promote the teamwork culture. In doing
projects, there are always teams to support that project. It does not
matter if the project is big or small, there will always be a team
assigned to that project. Different employees are assigned to different teams. The criteria for assigning a member to a team is not defined anywhere. It is normally based on availability, skill, and personal relations. It does not necessarily mean that when you put 2-3 members in a team, they would work harmoniously. Some people simply do not get along with other people. Perhaps, they can get along with them socially, but professionaly they can't. Let's look at the best case scenario. A team composed of 5 members, everybody gets along socially and professionaly. However, at some point during the project, one would definitely be irritated to another because of different work styles. But, does this mean their personal relationship will get affected? At some point during the project, yes, but after the project gets finished and the team disbanded, everything will go back to normal. It is only natural to have conflicts in team, it helps relationship become healthier. As long as conflicts does not reach to personal level, these conflicts are considered good for the growth of the team. |
