The author of  Conflict Management in Teams  states: "Sustaining a high-performing, highly satisfied team takes a great deal of maintenance and awareness." The quadrants listed in Figure 1 on page 2 of this week's reading reflect the likely cycles in the lifespan of a team and the processes they create to manage conflict.  While teams may not desire to spend much time in Quadrants 2 through 4, it is clear staying in Quadrant 1 is difficult to sustain. What are specific processes that you have devised or witnessed that promote the High Satisfaction / High Performance combination of the  Quadrant 1 Ideal Team ? Support your answer with observations from the article. (Use the conflict management document)

I am requesting your input on a new article or a new book chapter that particularly impresses you on our course topic -- preferably 30 pages or fewer. When I say "new," I mean distinct from your assigned readings. The article may explore any advanced aspect of negotiations or conflict management. It would be ideal if your suggestion were available through  Business Source Complete . While this is an optional assignment, your post will count toward your topic count. More importantly, I will be grateful for your contribution to this curriculum and for sharing a valuable lesson with your classmates. (Use Does team conflict affect top management team creativity.)
