Guide for Creating Teams:
Contentious or "Hot Button" Issues
Overview
There are issues that arise which can create controversy
within a team. Certain issues may elicit strong reactions within
a team. Other instances may arise where an issue may impact certain
members more favorably or unfavorably than others.
It may be useful to hold a meeting to work through such concerns.
This session requires careful planning and in many cases a facilitator
from outside the team may be helpful.
At Regular Intervals
Teams can benefit by regularly stepping back to do team building
and to review their performance. Periodic assessments (every 6 months)
encourage team members to look for ways to continually improve and
also facilitate their sharing suggestions for empowerment in a constructive
manner.
