It’s important to understand how, at times when different departments within the organization are working together, there is the risk of unhealthy tension.
The different managerial teams in Sales, Ops, HR, PR, Accounting, and Production (sometimes called Operations) need to understand that, at the highest level, their success is intertwined.
If you envision each department’s function as a Venn Diagram and look at where these overlap—these are the points where internal friction is most likely to develop.
At TransPerfect, we coach managers to proactively recognize these intersections and to attempt to avoid the negative friction and finger-pointing that have a natural tendency to occur.
How do you keep internal relations, and the natural tendency for inter-departmental competition, healthy in your organization—and remind everyone that they are on the same team?
