Once you know to look for it, you’ll realize that it’s as obvious as the sun in the sky. In fact, there’s one sure sign that you have a conflict within your team. Out of tension can come innovation, ideas, and a deeper team dynamic.īut you have to keep watch, otherwise a healthy tension can quickly turn into a conflict.
It’s the idea of “iron sharpening iron” that great leaders monitor and encourage. Leaders understand that tension is something they can harness to help the team grow and improve. It’s the daily challenge of working with a diverse group of people who have their own opinions and insights into the work they do, not to mention their own perspective on life. Tension is something leaders and teams live with every day. This week, I want to help make the distinction a little clearer. In my previous blog post, I wrote about the difference between conflict and tension, and how many leaders fail to grasp the difference.
