Do you know how your team handles conflict?

We may not like to admit it but there are times when tempers flare and inter-team relationships are under stress. Of ten this happens during times of change but it could just be a case of business-as-usual pressures building up.

Whatever the reason or root cause, how your team handles the situation could make or break effective team working in the future.

If this is something that concerns you, the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) might be able to help. The title may make you have cold sweats thinking about hours and hours of psychometric testing, however nothing could be further from the truth. It's a really simple tool that can be used in a relatively short space of time with your team that will help you:

  • recognize what individuals bring to a team, how the team works together and the strengths and blind spots
  • understand the behaviours associated with conflict, how they may be different to an individual's normal behaviour

We have used it to great effect within workshops usually taking from 2 hours to half a day. The feedback we have received is that the SDI sessions were a really useful short sharp insight into the team behaviours.

SDI could aid your team in leadership development, supervisory skills, team building and development and conflict management - so go on, give it a whirl!

If you want to learn more about how SDI could benefit you and your team, send us an email info@partners2.co.uk or give one of us a call: Deborah Betts 07891 537122; Sarah West 07855 370768.
