Our team has four members including myself the manager. Problem: We have one member who likes to get straight to the point at hand. She has great ideas and always offers great input, but she likes to just get straight to the point. Then we have a member who likes to tell all his stories and experiences on the subject, he can go on and on and on. This at times disrupts our meeting and sometimes we run out of time to cover all subjects. He also has to input how important his job is and all the committees he chairs and all the important people he knows. I am somewhere in the middle, at times I like to get straight to the point, but sometimes I share stories from my experience. We have a great team and have made great changes and improvements to our department.

I recently moved here and made contact with a volunteer advice/information service which I have long been connected with. I was amazed to find mistrust between members and of the Management Committee, conflict between paid staff, and an unwillingness to move to fix it. I have already had some affect on training programs, on the way the Management Committee is regarded, and a few other things but I need to set it alight somehow. The problems arose from a botched amalgamation of three branches a few years ago and some ‘old hands’ won’t let go their grudges. Ideas appreciated!

What should you do when a new member of a team is great at their job and the patients love her but she doesn’t “work well with others?” We work in healthcare as a rehabilitation team we struggle for continuity in care but the new member of the team doesn’t like it when she is asked to share a patient with another therapy or make changes to her schedule. For example one discipline was short due to having a therapist out of the office. The team in that discipline bonded together to make it work but the new member chose not to help out or share equipment. This is causing other members of the team to feel as if she gets special treatment. How can we get the team back on track and help her adjust to the team?

I am an experienced staff member presently working under an inexperienced supervisor who is dictatorial and controlling. Presently she is telling staff to move their offices to locations outside of their assigned duties to “develop teams.” She is reluctant to listen to any other ideas and basically says “because I said so.”
