I am currently enrolled in college and all of their classes are done online. This is my first class and we have five on my team. Three on the team have not helped do any of the project.

While I was away, my incharge felt that her colleague did not handle a customer situation as she would or as quickly as she would have done. Instead of talking to him the emails flew back and forth. The colleague, who really did not handle the situation well and did not take the criticism well from the incharge, and instead of talking to the incharge, went around to other staff members blasting the incharge for the way she criticized him. So now there are factions in the staff and the communication is really bad. How do I bring the factions together and bring the communication and team work back to where it was before I left.

I am the only female in the team of advisers. We have small team. My role is Change Management and Institutional development. My roles and responsibilities are not clear in the project perspective. I have shared this many times, but there is a blame from the leadership that I am not professionally capable. My acceptance to the team is also compromised as they are not clear about my role so they do not pay attention to keeping me in loop for any communication. The team leader, who has a role of mentoring is a foreign expert, does not communicate with me, and keeps on ignoring me. How can I tell my other colleagues to to listen me and work with me unless team leader clarifies my role?
