There are many mistakes leaders should avoid when dealing with workplace conflict. This is the last of the top 5 that I have seen in my many years of facilitating workplace conflict resolution.

#5 – GET EMOTIONALLY ENTANGLED 

One of the most common, awkward and difficult situations is to manage or supervise ‘friends’.  This is common because people get promoted from within, which is a smart way to retain and promote people who have great corporate knowledge. 

The challenge is that they used to be ‘friends’ with the team that they now need a different relationship with.  Confiding with team members that you manage is also a common entanglement that makes managing difficult. 

I know that ‘it’s lonely at the top,’ but a good mastermind or network of professionals in similar positions is a safe way to connect and share emotional feelings and stories about the challenges of being a leader.
