Describe the types of conflict that seems to exist within the Bluebirds organization. What are the causes? The problems in the bluebird’s organization are many, first there is recognition conflict, and then they have payment conflict. All the conflicts are caused from poor communication. In every organization, communication is very important and has the ability of putting away unnecessary conflicts that may come anytime. For example, the team owner needs to respect the work of the manager and let him do his job. However the manager also needs to have some communication skills and should bring together the team by letting them know reasons for each and every decision he made in the organization’s endeavors.

Is the situation characterized by the functional or dysfunctional conflict, or both? Explain.

The situation is characterized by functional conflict. The situation is based on things that need to be addressed if the team is going to play like it is supposed to. They have to sit together, and let each one say what they have to In order to express their needs. They have to swallow their pride and let the different parties explain their arguments. It is based on functional conflict because the things bringing the misunderstandings are real problems that should be addressed.

Assume that Trudy has hired you as a consultant to help her address the situation. Describe the steps that you could take.

If I was hired by Trudy, my first task could be to bring all the involved parties together, remind them of the role they were employed to play in the organization, then give them time to express their problems. All this is going to happen with a prior meeting with each party before bringing them together. This is to make everyone calm down and not argue from a disappointment view and working as a team.
