- Five Rules for Dealing with Conflict
- Encourage people to express their opinions. Being polite doesn't
put any ideas on the table.
- Focus on the mission when disagreements arise. Don't be distracted
by the people.
- Warn people to avoid aggressive behavior.
- Issue fines when people launch attacks on someone they disagree
with. Cash fines, payable immediately.
- Collect people's opinions individually in potentially difficult
situations. Summarize them in writing and feed back the summary to the
whole group.

do when you're suddenly in charge. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
- Ten Ways to Praise and Recognize Teams
- Have a manager pop in at a special project team's first meeting to express appreciation for the members' involvement.
- Open the floor for team members to praise anyone at the beginning or end of a meeting.
- When a group member presents an idea or suggestion, encourage other team members to thank the person for his or her contribution.
- Create symbols of a team's work, such as T-shirts or coffee cups with a team or company motto or logo printed on them.
- Hold a 'praise barrage,' where team members write down and share things they like about another member of the team.
- Assign one member of the team the job of creating and presenting an award for another member of the team.
- Alternate the responsibility for team recognition among different team members each week or at each meeting.
- Host a refreshments gathering, a potluck, or a special breakfast or lunch to celebrate interim or final results.
- Ask an upper manager to attend a 'bragging session' with the team, during which the group shares its achievements, and team members are thanked for their specific contributions.
- Write letters to every team member at the conclusion of a project thanking them for their contribution, and include a copy in their personnel file.
