All teams experience difficult situations that result in conflict and decreased productivity. During these times, it is important for members to be selfreflective and clarify the team’s purpose.
Tool Set B can support Team Leads to facilitate difficult conversations that connect team members to each other and the work of improving student outcomes.
When a Success Team Lead becomes aware of major conflicts and/or a lack of progress due to team dynamics (i.e. conflicting priorities, philosophical differences), there is a need to refocus efforts. We recommend the use of a protocol from Tool Set B to create a safe space for honest and productive conversations.
