I think the best way is to identify and highlight each team member’s strengths by giving them specific responsibilities that actually aligns with their unique skills. This will help foster mutual respect as members see each other’s value in action, naturally reducing friction and helping build trust through appreciation of each person’s contributions. 😊

Internal conflicts can disrupt a team's productivity and morale, but proactive steps can help restore harmony. Start by facilitating open communication—encourage team members to express concerns and actively listen to each other, which builds mutual understanding. Promote collaborative problem-solving, guiding the team to work together toward solutions that benefit everyone involved. Additionally, set clear expectations around roles and responsibilities to prevent misunderstandings and overlaps that often lead to friction. By fostering a cooperative environment, teams can move past conflicts and refocus on shared goals.

Restoring harmony often starts with open, empathetic communication. Creating a safe space for team members to voice their concerns helps to address misunderstandings and build trust. From there, setting clear, shared goals refocuses everyone’s energy toward a common purpose, enhancing both harmony and productivity. It’s about turning differences into strengths!

People always want to be seen/acknowledged for what they do best. Get courious and find out where people excel. Learning about others and using their skills to best solve problems is a win/win for conflict and issue resolutions.

Sometimes interpersonal conflicts are almost impossible to solve and you need to figure out what path of optimal solution might be. Sometimes it is beter to separate and split people than trying to get them to get along. Other tips when it is really difficult is to subject them to a common challenge they NEED each others skills to solve. Use proven methods of team development. I have good experiences working with IMGD (Susan Wheelan) framework combined- and strenghtened with psychological safety framework just to name something very useful.
