CMOE — Thanks for sharing your ideas. Getting the team together to lighten up the environment is a good idea. Thanks for suggesting it.

It is always rough to watch team unity deteriorate so quickly. I think the above communication outlines are great, people need to know what happened and why that was a negative thing. Maybe though after you are done talking things out your team needs a bit of a break. You were out of the office and had a break but maybe they feel worn down by the day to day activities. Think about something you can do to liven the office back up. Have a catered lunch, or in an entertainer to come in for an hour and perform as a break, or maybe it possible let everyone go home a half a day early.

Thanks for all of our advice and help. I feel more confident to resolve this situation withthe entire team. Will keep you posted. L

Good for you! I don’t think it’s too late to get the two of them together. There may still be some things simmering below the surface that will appear at the most inappropriate time. If that’s the case, you’ll want to get it cleared now. If all is well, you’ll find that out too.
