		<description><![CDATA[Conflict in a team setting is one of the natural hazards of the workplace. Unless you are on a project with no schedule pressure, and no technical challenges, and a single obvious way to get the job done, there will be some form of conflict (if you do happen to work on that sort of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has heard of that metaphor of a frog in a pot of water: put the little guy in hot water and he&#8217;ll jump right out, heat the water gradually and he&#8217;ll just hang out there. The gradual changes are too subtle for him to perceive them and do anything about it. This explains why [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We often make commitments to get things done within a given timeframe. Whether the time constraint was handed to you or you chose it is moot, as long as you have agreed to the commitment. If that time commitment is firm, and you find that it is not looking possible at some point, strange things [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With almost any team endeavour, whether it is called a project or not, there will be ample opportunities for stresses to creep in, for decisions to be made that don&#8217;t make everyone happy, for things to not go according to plan. Just as with any stresses, if left unchecked there is a really good chance [...]]]></description>

One thing that they all have in common is that many of the issues have to do with team dynamics, and the many ways in which [...]]]></description>

While the easy way out might be to go find another team, this is not always possible. How to continue to work with someone you currently loathe?

Last year, there was a ringer on another team that clearly outclassed everyone else in the league.
