In managing teams, as a leader, some of the strategies to follow when implementing changes include such as the proper ways of addressing conflict when conducting Team Learning.

The best exercise that was involved in Team Learning in acquiring the most out of the team was team building. This involved various activities that saw the different members engaging and participating together, since most of the activities held in team building required togetherness and unity (Lawrence, 2015). In management, a way to ensure that each member of the fraternity is involved in an activity is necessary (Change Management Institute, 2013). This will ensure that unity is maintained within the given organization, for a positive change and development for better productivity. Most of the members reacted positively after the activity, with enhanced and positive attitudes towards the management and the entire change that was to be introduced. During the activity, some of the actions that most members engaged in were unplanned, in that they had to switch to the given activities when they were introduced.

This enhances creativity in solving problems and handling challenges within an organization. References Change Management Institute. (2013).
