Fight Club

Keep talking and no-one explodes – Tips for smooth teams

• Prioritize the human element of collaboration by building trust and empathy to move beyond transactional interactions.
• Implement 'Fight Club' sessions as dedicated, safe spaces for team members to address interpersonal conflicts and misunderstandings immediately.
• Focus on identifying and resolving root causes of disagreements rather than arguing over symptoms, a process referred to as avoiding the 'red table, blue chair' phenomenon.
