The Brain in Conflict & Collaboration Course Discussion: How have you noticed Us vs. Them dynamics play out in your workplace? What constructive and destructive outcomes are you noticing, and what are some techniques that you have found helpful to foster a “We” identity?
I have actually seen it work AND seen it cause conflict. When it's been problematic, once of the go to ideas is to reconnect everyone and re-engage our "why". As a non-profit our focus, our mission, is on others, and having everyone reignite their reason for being a part of the agency really helps to rejuvenate that togetherness.
