Any institution or organization
that is divided can never record any significant growth, improvement or
progress. Division will cause a breakdown of any system which is always a tell
tale sign of an unproductive group of people.
You must know that division can
be in various forms such as; opinions, ideologies, believe, methodologies,
thoughts, views and approach to issues. John Adams was quoted to have said “the
greatest instrument of division is the abuse of words” and this can degenerate
to further disintegration and conflict in the organization which when not
properly managed to lead to anarchy.
Division is well known to
create lots of negative energy like resentment, strive and hostility,
hatred. It is not absolutely wrong to be
of a different opinion or having a different view to an issue, but this must be
done in a manner love and from a pure heart of seeking the collective good of
the group, it is often said that “we disagree to agree.”
How to deal with division in an
Team/organization?
1. You
must first know the root of the matter, what lead to the division
2. You
will have to analyze the issue objectively without a premeditated solution
3. Allow
the parties involved to express their grievances
4. Collectively
seek for possible solution to the problem
5. Adopt
the best option available with consent to the parties
6. Initiate
reconciliation process for both parties
7. Put in
place measure to cub a reoccurrence of such or related issues.
The best way is to avoid any
situation that will lead to division in you organization or group.
To your success!
