How Teams Work Teamwork Through Consensus or CompromisingMike Cardus
Consensus and Compromise
Many misconceptions haunt both consensus and compromise; it is not a tool in total agreement among the team, nor is it a type of voting.
Both are a decision making method where all parties involved have input on the decision to be made and whatever agreement is reached will not be sabotaged by the team.

Third Party Intervention and Global Negotiation
THIRD PARTY INTERVENTION
It probably goes without saying that litigation is likely the more expensive and the most time consuming. Lawyers have a knack for tying up a case in a tangle of legal knots for years. The outcome is often uncertain and the resulting benefits can be nebulous at best.
Arbitration, as it turns out, may not be that much more productive than litigation, as this dispute resolution process can also be costly and time consuming for the participants. However, the effect and influence of arbitrators can vary quite significantly between countries and cultures. In some countries, arbitrators may be inclined to impose a settlement on the parties in dispute, and in other countries they may be inclined to facilitate a more amicable agreement. Arbitration may be a more proactive venue than litigation. One thing is clear about a dispute in a joint venture partnership though: there is little hope that the relationship between the partners will likely survive either process.
Often, many companies will resort to either litigation or arbitration first. This may be a mistake.
This brings us to mediation. Mediation is the least-used process to resolve disputes. So, what are the similarities and the differences? First, a mediator is chosen by both parties, and will bring their own applicable expertise to the dispute process, as well as an understanding of the basis of the dispute. More importantly, mediators are both neutral and objective. The mediator will use the resources of both parties to help both parties resolve their conflict. In other words, a mediator, more than anyone else, can help mend a contractual dispute and save a relationship. Let’s look at an example.
In Italy, a company called Nuovo Pignone, which manufactured heavy equipment, was being sued by an insurance company to recoup a claim they paid out to one of NP’s customers. The customer had lost business when some of the equipment it had purchased from NP failed in a contract job. NP suggested they use a mediator. Both the insurance company and the customer who had sustained the loss agreed. A retired Italian judge was called in to mediate. The judge focused on settlement as his objective in the dispute.
By taking this approach, the parties were able to more realistically gauge each other’s strengths and weaknesses. The customer was persuaded to put pressure on the insurance company as he was still a valued customer of both parties despite his dispute with NP. As a result, the insurance company was persuaded to settle for a reasonable and acceptable amount of money. In the end, all parties were satisfied through the mediator’s efforts and the business relationship between the parties was successfully maintained.
A mediator can more readily help the parties shape or restructure their agreements and is thereby more likely to also preserve a profitable ongoing relationship than would have be.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Maternity Leave Laws: 7 guidelines on pregnancy discrimination law, state
maternity regulations, pregnancy disability leave, plus a sample maternity leave
policy
It’s important to know what you must do—and what you can’t do (or say)—under federal anti-discrimination and
maternity leave laws. And it’s vital to double-check state maternity leave statutes, which may provide more liberal
leave benefits. While no federal law requires you to provide paid maternity leave, most employers must comply with the
pregnancy discrimination law and FMLA maternity leave regulations. Here are 7 guidelines on how best to comply
with maternity leave laws, plus a sample leave policy you can adapt for your own organization.
