Although all of these members have qualities and traits of working well in a team environment, potential for conflict still exist. Based on their characteristics, for Katelyn and Natalie working together could be challenging and may create a conflict that could delay the project. For example, Natalie is ambitious and competitive and has a tendency to find ways to stand out. On the other hand, Katelyn is very driven and strives for perfection. This drives her to have high expectations for her team members, expectations that could be unreasonable at times. She has a tendency to believe she is always right and would not give in. Conflict can arise between these two members because they are junior to the company and they both want to stand out. One strategy that can be implemented to manage or maybe prevent conflict all together, is to assign each team member a particular task or tasks and stablish some form of hierarchy based on their experience and time with the company. Knowing what tasks must be completed by each team member and their position on the team, can minimize the risk or prevent conflict from arising. If in any case conflict arises between team members, a collaborating strategy could also be applied, where they will try to find creative solutions that could be beneficial for everyone and most importantly the completion of the project.
