If you have a staff that doesn’t get along, you know that’s bad. It’s bad for productivity, it’s bad for individual performance, and it’s bad for your mental wellbeing.

As the team leader, playing referee to people clearly old enough to know better is the last thing you need to spend your time on.

If it’s so bad you don’t even want to walk through the front door in the morning, try this – create a document with every staffer’s name on it, each name on its own line, with three or for blank lines between names. Print a copy of the list for each person on the team and hand them out. Tell everyone to write one nice thing about every person on the sheet using their non-dominant hand. You collect the sheets, cut them apart, and create a collage of the nice things people wrote about their co-workers.

Post it where everyone can see it, and watch the tension ease, at least a bit.
