Conflict cannot be avoided in any team setting. Conflict can be caused by four dimensions: personality, boundary, politics, and property. Conflict can be managed by five management styles: avoiding, accommodating, compelling, collaborating, and compromising styles. The interaction of a given conflict dimension and a given conflict management style can occur on the matrix of team role preference: completer/finisher, implementer, team worker, specialist, monitor/evaluator, coordinator, resource investigator, plant, and shaper. Leadership can help a team transform the team role preferences, but it requires some time and effort.
