1 Recognize Diversity

Appreciating the diversity of work styles within your consulting team is the first step towards managing conflict effectively. Each team member brings a unique set of skills, experiences, and preferences to their work, which can lead to varying approaches to problem-solving, decision-making, and collaboration. Acknowledge that these differences are not only natural but can also be beneficial, as they contribute to a well-rounded team capable of tackling complex challenges from multiple angles.

Every work method has in principle its value, the question is "is it adapted" to the project/question at hand and how can I organize around several different working methods ? The most effective way to solve this is to start collectively from the project/question at hand and outline what are the different dimensions of the project/question and how to best solve each one. In doing so with the consultants team, the differences in working methods will emerge in a non agressive setting and will be worked out among the members of the team as a way to come out with a balanced general approach, which smooth out the differences in working styles and methods.

Navigating conflicting work styles in your consulting team: "Hey team, let's embrace our diverse styles and find a groove that blends our strengths." "Maybe we can pair up on projects to balance out each other's approaches." "Open communication and respect are key—let's talk it out and find common ground."

2 Communicate Openly

Open communication is the bedrock of resolving work style conflicts. Encourage your team to share their thoughts and preferences openly and without judgment. This will help everyone understand the underlying reasons for their colleagues' work styles. Active listening and empathy are key here; by creating a safe space for dialogue, team members can find common ground and appreciate the strengths that each person brings to the table.

3 Set Clear Goals

Establishing clear goals can help align your team's efforts, regardless of individual work styles. Ensure that everyone understands the objectives and how their contributions fit into the bigger picture. This clarity helps to minimize misunderstandings and keeps the team focused on what truly matters—delivering value to your clients. When goals are transparent, it's easier for team members to adapt their work styles for the collective success of the project.

Every individual is different and consulting as a profession has ever so dynamic structure where teams change with every project. While the leaders might try to create a team which has a proven track record of delivering successful projects but it very unlikely to keep the same team. In such a situation, everyone will have different working styles and it becomes essential for the manager to acknowledge and respect every team members working style. Expectation setting right from the start of the project both in terms of deliverables and end goals is very important. Regular check-ins with all team members both in terms of work and team dynamics will go a long way in ensuring success of the project.

4 Adapt Strategies

Flexibility is critical when managing a team with diverse work styles. Be prepared to adapt strategies and processes to accommodate different preferences. This might involve rethinking meeting structures, communication channels, or project management tools. The goal is to find a balance that leverages the strengths of all work styles while maintaining efficiency and productivity.

5 Foster Collaboration

Promoting a collaborative environment is essential when dealing with conflicting work styles. Encourage team members to work together on tasks and projects, allowing them to learn from each other's approaches. This not only helps to build mutual respect but also sparks innovation as different perspectives collide. Collaboration should be structured in a way that everyone feels valued and heard.

6 Resolve Conflicts

When conflicts arise from clashing work styles, address them promptly and constructively. Conflict resolution should focus on finding solutions that respect each individual's work style while advancing the team's goals. This often involves compromise and negotiation, but it's important to ensure that the process is fair and inclusive. By resolving conflicts effectively, you can turn potential roadblocks into opportunities for growth and team cohesion.
