Assignment:
Scenario: Workplace The organization you work for is expanding and acquiring an international business, increasing the total employee population from 500 to 10,000. Employees are located in multiple states and countries across the world.
Conflict 1 - Disagreement with a colleague over work styles
You recently had a new international colleague join your team, but you both have very different work styles. You are a planner and like to have a detailed to-do list for each day, while your colleague prefers to work on tasks as they come up, without a specific plan in place. This difference in work styles has led to some tension between you and your colleague, as you both have different expectations for how the work should be completed. You feel like your colleague is disorganized and unreliable, while your colleague thinks you are too rigid and inflexible. You both were recently assigned to a new project, and you need to decide the best way to work together despite your work style differences.
