If you believe the culture of your organisation isn’t working for you – it isn’t necessarily that the culture is bad. Simply that it doesn’t serve the needs of the organisation.
Understanding the composition and chemistry of your team and why people react the way that they do, is a first great step to understanding team dynamics, and why some people do, in the context of a specific team, give their team member(s) the hooby doobies.
It’s about raising awareness – which in turn allows people to see their team mate’s attributes that are different to their own as something that is potentially positive, rather than just irritating. That can, in and of itself reduce conflict that teams experience.
Many organisations have worked very hard over recent years to have excellent family friendly policies that are available to both partners. There are excellent examples of organisations that are progressive and flexible. Those same employers have sophisticated comms programmes to ensure that they are well known throughout their organisations. And yet.
The trick now will be to learn the lessons from the trial by fire, and work out the bits that don’t work for each organisation. This may mean going backwards to go forwards – to introduce the new normal slowly. To ask what worked, and importantly, why? And what didn’t?
If you’re working from home (as in actually working from home) for the first time, you might be thinking, where do I start? The following has a pretty comprehensive list of things to think about before you start working from home. But if there’s one takeaway that’s more important than any other – it’s over communicate, over communicate, over communicate!!
It’s a simple enough question, with an answer that we can probably all relate to. You know how it feels when someone is rude to you, whether that is in the workplace or more broadly in life.
By spread, I mean that we take on the emotions of other people. So Negative Nellie leaves a trail that then “infects” her workmates. The boss casts a pall all over the office, almost like a sneeze.
In some cases, the person causing the conflict is just not pleasant. And will go out of their way to cause conflict. It is much rarer, but if you have someone who intent on wrecking havoc, it’s a deeper conversation about whether that person is a good match for the organisation. And if the organisation has no intention of resolving it, then it is a question for you as to whether the organisation is a good fit for you.
