Regardless of what a specific management style is called, taxonomies of conflict style have one underlying theme; effective styles result in sincere consideration and integration of others input while ineffective styles lead to dismissal of ideas and lost information (Janssen et al., 1999). 61 (11), 15931616.

Considering the context in which these teams work, there are a number of challenges inherent to healthcare that can also hinder performance, including psychological barriers (e.g., professional silos, hierarchies, power differentials) and organizational barriers (e.g., distributed teams, hybrid working models; Weller et al., 2014). However, in general, teams should be trained on transportable or generalizable teamwork skills (e.g., sharing just enough of the right information, shared leadership) to enable effective adaptation and resiliency throughout membership changes (Bedwell et al., 2012). Qualitative inquiry was used to provide rich detail about how each one of these challenges may manifest in the field and the impact of these challenges on team outcomes including performance, functioning, and viability.
