Encourage debate and acknowledge that not all conflict is bad

· team,issues

If your team
…has team members who are unable to engage in respectful debate about important issues and differences of opinion this will stifle growth and creativity within the team.

You need to
…encourage debate and acknowledge that not all conflict is bad - what matters is how a team deals with that conflict.

Specifically you could
facilitate team activities around decision-making techniques which can help team members voice alternative or opposing ideas within a structured context.
