Wait, can just scheduling meetings really change how people feel about conflict?

Enforcing limits? That seems a bit harsh for conflict resolution.

Regular Team Syncs can also help, but not sure if they’re enough.

I feel like enforcing work-in-process limits might create more tension instead of easing it. I need to think about that one more.

Aligning to shared commitments sounds familiar, but I can't recall how that specifically helps with conflict.

I remember a practice question where we discussed scheduling regular Team Syncs, but I feel like that might not directly address the fear of conflict.

I think giving every team member the opportunity to contribute could really help, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best approach.

Aligning to shared commitments seems like a solid approach. If the team is united around common goals, they may be more willing to have difficult conversations for the greater good.

Scheduling regular Team Syncs sounds like a good strategy to me. Creating a safe space for open communication could help the team feel more comfortable addressing conflicts.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this one. Enforcing work-in-process limits doesn't seem directly related to addressing fear of conflict. I'll have to think this through more carefully.

This seems like a tricky question. I'm not entirely sure about the best approach, but I think giving team members a chance to contribute could help overcome fear of conflict.

Wait, there's no option for 'Hire a professional stand-up comedian to entertain the team'? That's where I was going with this.

I agree with Albert. When everyone feels heard, they are more likely to speak up and address conflicts.

A? Really? Enforcing limits is just going to make people more frustrated and afraid to speak up.
