Advanced Tech Limited is working on creating spaceships that can traverse the solar system within days. You are a general manager in the company, and you have been tasked with developing a new project titled Proj-A that can demonstrate capabilities to travel at light speed.

You have assembled a team of people from different backgrounds and briefed them about the project, its timelines and expectations. The team members are looking forward to this new project and working with new people.

You have the best-skilled resources in every avenue that you have chosen; you have six top-performing team members from six different fields. Your task is to get them to work together and function as a high-performing team. These are senior folks and are, in time, expected to become heads of the functions that they are currently performing.

There is no dearth of experience or expertise. Thus, you know that your team can deliver results if they have what they require. It is now your job to provide them with all that they require, including the budget, resources, a collaborative organisation and prompt support functions.

Q1

The head of design has descended into a long-running argument with the head of finance regarding the procurement of some advanced (and expensive) technical components. How can you reduce such future conflicts among your leadership team? (Multiple options may be correct.)

Further increase transparency and trust within teams by organising regular information sharing sessions and team building exercises

Hear their view points and lead them firmly towards arriving at a mutually acceptable decision

Take some time to observe how the conflict unfolds and take the necessary action after that

Reassign both the leaders to other roles such that they do not come in contact with each other
