I came across several conflicts in my workplaces of child care centres. Maybe all the coworkers are females, and there are so many conflicts every day. Here is an example: I was hired as a site supervisor of a program. One coworker has been working there for more than 5 years and was in charge of everything before I came. The director did not tell me I would be just a paper supervisor because I have the diploma. I am a very humble and careful person. I know I am new and I should learn first. I never told children or parents or coworkers that I was hired as a supervisor. I tryied my best to be humble and learned. However, she could not let me go. She talked and behaved to show her power at any moment. She talked about former teachers working there and always sounded she was the best and the most professional one. Every day, she gave me orders. like" Please sanitize these toys. Please do the programing." I am a teacher and have work experience, and i know what i should do. She just wants to give orders, and I feel very uncomfortable. She even put pledge form before me and said" please donate money for the program. You should model to the parents and children you donate too...."when there are donation compaigns. I feel it hard to answer back to hurt her, but i did suffer a lot. The next day, I told her "donation is very private thing. We never display to the parents or children who donated and how much they did. Please do not do this to me .It is not your duty." Although I did talk to her several times, she did not change at all. I talked the director about it, but the director never arrange a talk for us. I feel so frustrated and do want to leave the job.

As you balance build (in your face) and sustain (team building), you can walk forward. Without one or the other your company will not flourish. Maybe your partner is more into "All for one and one for all" than "giraffe speak" and you can stand back-to-back where his in-your-face is directed elsewhere? :) Carol, if it helps, realize that there is a left foot and a right foot required to walk… that is, one person wants to build and the other wants to sustain.

The conflict is between three workers. one of the gentle men that is getting the blunt is a gentleman that has 2 years remaining. He performs very well but prefers to stay away from there high tech stuff. Which is fine because there is plenty of work for his knowledge. One supervisor has sat them down and explained that they must work it out together. There is no place to move them away from each other. I do not believe in moving personnel unless absolutely necessary. It only places a band-aid and the issue remains.I have approached each individually to find out what the ignition source is and have found two stories. One is from the soon to retire gentleman and the other comes from the two others. I am going to approach them all with the company non-violence policy to lay a foundation. I believe that the situation is with the boss that feels that he is on top and it is his way or no way...that is when I am not around. When I show up its all fine. Do you have more suggestions on what to try? I do believe that there is a solution to this.
