Provide all team members with conflict resolution training. Conflicts can have value if managed properly, so improving team members' listening and consensus building skills is necessary.
Make sure that the company's human resources personnel are involved in the team-building process to help teach facilitation and group dynamics skills.
Disregard the rank or perceived status of each group member and have standards in place that put value on what every team member brings to the CFT.
Co-locate the team members. Putting team members together on an everyday basis strengthens communication and breaks down barriers.
