Answer / bj
Have a one on one with the team member and in a friendly
manner elicit information from him regarding the problems
he/she has with you. These could be symptoms of a bigger
problem pertaining to perception or reality.
Analyze each of the these very objectively encouraging the
member to speak up without having to worry about any
consequences. (In many instances, the members would not like
to divulge critical information which would be useful in
resolving the issue. This could stem from fear or un-easiness).
If I have another line of thought, discuss the same with
examples, to help the member understand your point of view
;or if there is some issue which is an area of improvement
-acknowledge it and thank him for making you aware of the
issue and helping me improve.
Pursue the issues to resolution by gaining trust from the
member. This will help the member become more productive and
also reduce non productive stress in the team

Answer / yogesh
We agree to disagree. Healthy conflicts are always welcome
in the team, That provides way for idea generation and
innovation.
Most important is "LISTEN".
I faced similar situation in various projects.I respect the
vaious views and take the balance decision which helps the
team and over all project. Conflict resolution is mostly
depend on situations as well as leadership styles.
I always seen a gap between Intentions and interpretations.
There are always sensing sessions, formal , informal

Answer / ashika
Any conflict is best resolved by discussing the issue 1-2-1
rather than avoiding it.
The moment I sense that there is tension created I will
have a meeting with that subordinate and will ask him his
side of the story. We will have a discussion where I will
try and reason him his point of view and also explain him
our strategy. I will consider his idea and if appropritate
will implement the same.
Due to any problem the work should not be affected in any
way. He shud be informed that next time any kind of
suggestion will be open to discussion.

Answer / mohan kumar
If I see a prob. with my sub-ordinate, definitely I will
have a one on one meet with him. I will ask him what's his
problem? I will try to identify what's the source for his/
her problem?
What ever the reason, definitely I will have a deep
discussion and try to solve the problem ASAP. If he is not
convinced with my solution, the same will be informed to
the higher management and recommed him to have a skip level
meeting to find for a solution.

Answer / indranil bhattacharya
I will just place myself to his position and will try to
understand the situation. If the problem is related to
personal issues, then need to talk to him/her personally and
if needed I'm ready to compromise myself in some cases for
the sake of the project as well as the team. If the problem
is with him due to his fault, then just point out the
problem and clearly state him to rectify him.

Answer / anoop kumat
Very first thing I will do is to call a meeting with my
team member. And I will request him to present his thoughts
on my work and way of leading and how he is taking a
difference with the team thoughts.
I will try to convience them with the opinion. I always do
a team discussion for any intiative and who is liking to
lead the intiative. Try to understand the team indiviuals
and utilise the potential to avoid this kind of issues.
