La relation Superviseur - Collaborateurs n'est pas toujours celle voulue. Lorsque surviennent les conflits, l'une des choses recommandée serait: 1- d'aller vers le superviseur afin de mieux l'écouter, prendre note des attendus et admettre humblement ses erreurs si tel est le cas. Si les hostilités persistent, alors passez à 2- Solliciter l'arbitrage d'un autre superviseur afin de lui faire entendre raison et désamorcer toute ambiance toxique qui pourrait naitre si elle n'existe pas déjà. En cas d'échec , alors 3- Rechercher le soutien du/d'un N+2 aui saura quoi en faire sans que cela ne puisse vous revenir en plein dans le visage.

It is important to understand management culture there in the company. Supervisor must be open to hear different opinions and point-of-view shared by the team, and the team must understand some decisions are beyond their knowledge, due some non-shared information or other perspectives.

It helps in a big way to maintain professionalism and not to allow personal biases come in the way of handling differences. This refocuses the energies towards tackling the issue at hand as documented by individual contracts and KPIs that each committed to.
