The article emphasizes the significance of team dynamics in both business and sports. John Eliot and Jim Guinn, authors of "How To Get Along with Anyone," argue that conflicts often appear substance-driven but are fundamentally people-driven. They suggest the first step toward resolving conflicts is understanding the individuals involved rather than focusing solely on the issues at hand. The authors outline the importance of identifying teammates' conflict triggers and mechanisms for resolution to foster better collaboration and prevent future disputes.
"Blowups appear to be substance-driven, but they're actually people-driven," says Eliot. "The first step toward preventing and resolving conflict is to focus on figuring out the people participating in it not the underlying 'problem.'"
To work well with others, Guinn and Eliot recommend learning your teammates' conflict triggers and go-to method of resolution.
According to Eliot and Guinn, there are three distinct types of conflict. Not all conflicts trigger all people, and it's common to have a blind spot for your own.
