Let’s face it: teamwork is hard. Sometimes teams face internal conflicts that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Such challenges, often communication-related, can lead to dysfunction and even animosity. The resultant tensions often have a detrimental effect on team morale and productivity. When a team encounters a situation of this nature, it can be highly beneficial to have an impartial external facilitator work with the team in addressing problematic issues. An independent facilitator can help the whole team move through the impasse and maximize their success potential.
