Executive Summary
Effective conflict resolution is one of the most significant challenges faced by managers dealing
with interdisciplinary teams. The efficiency of a team manager to initiate proper techniques of
solving problems and persuading his team members to arrive at a consensus plays a crucial role
in influencing the success of individual group members, the team and the organization.
Creativity in conflict resolution encompasses the ability of the members of an organization to
combine diverse points of view as a basis of generating solutions that depict higher degrees of
novelty and usefulness. Functional diversity is one of the most significant potencies availed by
the members of interdisciplinary groups pursuing the forming and conforming phases of team
development in fostering problem-solving through appreciation of the diversities presented by
each of the team players. In my position as the interdisciplinary team manager, I will apply
conflict asymmetry as a technique of dealing with the differences revealed by my team members.
I will apply conflict asymmetry in resolving the problems faced with my group members by
creating an ample avenue and operational environment that will foster the processes of
exchanging, combining and transforming the novel and exclusive ideas presented by individual
team players as a way of striking a common point. Further, I will adopt feedback and motivation
techniques in the interdisciplinary team assigned by creating a positive working environment,
setting goals, offering effective leadership, availing incentives and recognizing achievements.
The strategies adopted will ensure that the multidisciplinary team assigned moves from the
current stage to the conforming stage through enhancement of job satisfaction, the performance
of the members, and reduction in the turnover rates.

Introduction
Effective conflict resolution is one of the most significant challenges faced by managers dealing
with interdisciplinary teams. According to Martínez-Moreno et al. (2015), the efficiency of a
team manager to initiate proper techniques of solving problems and persuading his team
members to arrive at a consensus plays a crucial role in influencing the success of individual
group members, the team and the organization. The issues of collaboration and creativity in
interdisciplinary teams are highly capable of generating conflicts mainly when the group
members are cross-generational and are pursuing the forming and conforming phases. The
current section of the study seeks to undertake a critical analysis of how creative problem
techniques of solving problems can be in the application in resolving conflicts and coax members
of an interdisciplinary team towards pursuing a consensus and the most effective strategies of
managing ongoing team performances.
Application of Problem Solving Techniques in Conflict Resolution
Creativity in conflict resolution encompasses the ability of the members of an organization to
combine diverse points of view as a basis for generating solutions that depict higher degrees of
novelty and usefulness (Singer 2018). According to Prause and Mujtaba (2015), managers
working with interdisciplinary teams often rely on the creativity of their team members as a way
of pooling the diverse expertise, talents, and proficiencies availed by each team player.
Functional diversity is one of the most significant potencies availed by the members of
interdisciplinary groups pursuing the forming and conforming phases of team development in
fostering problem-solving through appreciation of the diversities presented by each of the team
players (Folger, Poole and Stutman 2015). Yong, Seur and Mannix (2014) explain that group
members possess specific information that may be of the critical essence in leading the
