There’s bound to be conflict with any group of people who spend the majority of their time with one another.
Throw in an ambitious deadline or the challenges of remote decision-making and — as much as we try to prevent it — conflict within your team is inevitable and can be a major cause of stress.
Setting a SMART goal to deal with conflict within the team can help resolve conflict with minimal disruption to productivity levels.
One of the main causes of escalating conflict is poor communication between teammates, especially if there’s tension. Many co-workers would prefer to just wait for the tension to ease and avoid the other person until then. Of course, this is a terrible idea for a team that needs to work as one to produce high-quality products.
In this scenario:
Your specific details are the conflict, the people involved, and the subject that caused it.
Your measurables are increased collaboration and a reduction in time wastage.
The attainable goal is to resolve the conflict as soon as possible, as its relevance is due to the impact on productivity.
Resolving conflict is also an urgent task, making it a time-bound activity that needs to be completed ASAP.

What are SMART goals?
Not all goals are created equal.
Just blindly telling yourself your goal is to be fluent by the end of the year isn’t really going to help you get there. In order to keep you on track your goals need to meet certain criteria.
SMART is a goal setting framework originally created for business management, but has been widely adopted beyond that, and is great for language learning.
