Working in teams has become standard practice in the workplace, as well as in the classroom. As you may have experienced, typically teams are made-up of persons that have similar objectives in mind. In this Discussion, we explore one aspect of teamwork that frequently gets overlooked – solving problems with a person(s) who may disagree with you or have dissimilar objectives.
First, view the Tedx Talk by Leah Garces (Sep 2020) entitled “A lesson in turning adversaries into allies” ( https://www.ted.com/talks/leah_garces_a_lesson_in_turning_adversaries_into_allies ).
In her speech, Garces offers three (3) “Lessons Learned” from working with her adversary. For your post, you will respond to the three lessonsby offering an example(s) of a situation when you worked with someone you may have disagreed with in solving a problem.
In your response, comment on what you did to resolve your differences. Specifically, in your final solution, did you compromise any of your objectives towards an agreeable solution or did you convince your adversary to “see it your way” in solving the problem? Maybe they convinced you of their position? Be specific in your response.
