Once you belong to any organizations or groups, there will be conflicts in some ways. Some conflicts or argument can be opportunities to make a change of their teams, but others can be pointless to discuss. The most interesting section in Chapter 7, "Conflict" was "Avoid Needless Power Struggle." Dennis Perkins illustrates a conflict on Shackleton's journey as an example and advise you to "choose to leave your "McNeish" standing in the snow until you can assess the situation." The reason why this section got my attention is because I thought I sometimes can be "McNeish" and tend to argue pointless things when irritated or frustrated. As I think you know by reading this blog, I have played a role as a leader many times in my life, but I have never been conscious of the psychological qualities of leaders and never tried to be "Shackleton," who tries to solve the problems calmly. I, indeed, tried not to be emotional in front of my teammates, but talked to my friends out of the team or mothers who always taught me new perspectives towards the problem. But in my personal life, I tend to be emotional when things are not going well. Therefore, reading this article made me realize, in my case, I need to try not to be "McNeish"or make decisions for teams emotionally at first. And then, I need to face teammates who can be McNeish. Since I understand how they feel when frustrated, I think I can deal with them softly after giving them time to calm down.
Bye!
