The beneficial conflict allows the team to grow
and flourish. The conflicts which happen
between members related to the goals and
objectives provides the team with new
information from which it can develop and
ensure its growth (Georgiadis and Tang, 2017).
The destructive conflicts make it hard for the
team to achieve set goals and objectives.

among its members (Holten and Brenner, 2015). The team needs to address issues directly in
order to ensure that there are none of the pitfalls left and the team is moving towards it growth
accordingly. The another method that can be used to build trust and accountability within the
team includes being open, honest and transparent. It allows the team to achieve desired set of
goals and objectives properly.

The concept of no-blame culture is a very fundamental and successful implementation of
continuous improvement within the organization and a team. The no-blame culture is particularly

solves in such means. This ensure proper growth and development of the team and employees

The no-blame culture allows the organization and team to achieve its set goals and
objectives properly. Along with it, it provides guided direction to the employees to be more open

achievement of set goals and objectives and ensures employee development and growth.

The systems and processes within the team and the organization can be used in a variety
of ways to support no blame culture. Systems such as employee management can be used to

I first start the senior worker in my organization then I tried to adapt to peoples in
democratic style of leadership. I had worked with the peoples and also take their views and ideas
in my decision making process. But after some time I quickly discovered that style of
management because more staff members are taking advantage of this decision. In that I'm not
