In the context of product delivery where multiple members of a team interact, it is good to engage in healthy passionate conflict. Encourage healthy conflict, reduce the fear of it and have a common language around by knowing your inner animal as well your team members' animal through the Thomas Kilman conflict style test.

1. CONFLICT STYLE EXERCISE
IN THE SCALE OF TURTLE TO
SHARK WHERE ARE YOU?

4. CONTRARY TO POPULAR
WISDOM AND BEHAVIOUR,
CONFLICT IS NOT A BAD
THING FOR A TEAM. IN FACT,
THE FEAR OF CONFLICT IS
ALMOST A SIGN OF PROBLEMS.
THE ADVANTAGE: WHY ORGANISATIONAL HEALTH TRUMPS
EVERYTHING ELSE IN BUSINESS

5. “TEAMS THAT TRUST EACH OTHER
ARE NOT AFRAID TO ENGAGE IN
PASSIONATE DIALOGUE AROUND
ISSUES AND DECISIONS THAT ARE
KEY TO THE ORGANISATION’S
SUCCESS. THEY DO NOT HESITATE
TO DISAGREE WITH, CHALLENGE,
AND QUESTION ONE ANOTHER,
ALL IN THE SPIRIT OF FINDING THE
BEST ANSWERS, DISCOVERING THE
TRUTH, AND MAKING GREAT
DECISIONS.”
– PATRICK LENCIONI

10. WHY DO IT?
AWARENESS01
RECOGNISING OUR ANIMALS AND THE ANIMALS IN OTHERS
IN OUR DIFFERENT HUMAN INTERACTIONS HIGHLIGHTS THAT
WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT BUT THAT WE ALSO HAVE THE
ABILITY TO TWEAK OUR RESPONSES TO IMPROVE THESE
INTERACTIONS.

11. WHY DO IT?
COMMON LANGUAGE02
THE USE OF DIFFERENT ANIMALS WAS A GOOD AND FUN
WAY TO INTRODUCE THE IDEA OF CONFLICT STYLES AND
HAVE THE TRIBE USE A NON-THREATENING LANGUAGE
AROUND THIS.
A LANGUAGE TO CALL ON STRENGTHS & CALL OUT
WEAKNESSES.

12. WHY DO IT?
COMMON JOURNEY03
DOING THIS TOGETHER WITH YOUR TEAMS PUTS EVERYONE
ON THE SAME PATH, A FOUNDATION FOR A SHARED
ACCOUNTABILITY ON IMPROVING AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS A
TEAM IN ADDRESSING AND PARTICIPATING IN HEALTHY
PRODUCTIVE CONFLICT.
