A team consists of multiple members, each having a different personality, managing and catering to their needs can be a daunting task at times. With so many people working on a project together, there can be disagreements and differences in a team that can have a negative impact on the project and work environment.

Issues and incongruities among st team members is often a challenge for project managers to deal with. They have to constantly look for ways to take everyone in a team together for the betterment of the project.

Solution???

People will always be the most complex 'thing' to deal with on any project. However, investing time in seeking their engagement and productivity will pay exponential dividends - start with seeking engagement from all in team meetings.
Worst-case scenario if you cant invest enough time where people have conflict, then manage the project to minimize their interaction.

Most of the disagreements arise when individuals are not happy . But for me 3 strategies works the best:

1. Map there personal aspirations with there assigned tasks- most of the time frustration leads to conflict. One to one meetings could be fruitful. Then align other team mates with common set of interest
2. If a person is strong individual instead of team player, which in turn is only 10-20% and you need them in project because they are the best, manage them individually.
3. Pull and push - if person is overloaded, delegate (pull) his/her work. If person is less productive then go to point #1

Creating, coaching and mentoring the leaders in team is marathon game to invest on.

Always start with the common denominator among people' their shared interests or likes. That is a starting point to build unity.
