Q A common management pitfall is to build a team based upon the members' capacity for "agreement." In other words, we have a natural tendency to prefer teams that "get along." Interestingly, much of the research suggests that the highest performing teams in terms of innovation, change, and new idea generation, are comprised of a very diverse group with varying backgrounds, talents, etc. Naturally, the more diverse a team, the greater the potential for conflict. This leads to the question - how might managers balance the preferred structure of a diverse team with the rise in conflict that will naturally occur? Prepare a 500-word n.arrative essay summarizing the current research addressing this dilemma. Identify any seminal theories and conceptual frameworks that you discover. Introduction
