Each team member has personal beliefs and interests. Individual points of view can work for or against the team result.
If diverse points of view focus predominately on individual needs, the team’s efforts are diffused and conflict becomes factional. By aligning individual points of view toward team results, however, leaders can leverage individual attitudes to building positive results.
Instead of diffusing the focus of the team, the variety of beliefs and experiences can lead to dynamic discussions that temper, refine, and strengthen the values of a team.
