ou became a manager in an organisation that trains people who are having difficulty finding work due to incarceration, drug problems, or mental health issues. When you entered this organization, women complained about that men are too easy going and compromise the standards. Men said that women are too strict and not flexible. In the employee team, men reviewed male applicants while a mix of men and women reviewed female applicants. You instructed them, as your first move, to review all applicants in weekly meetings together, and all of them accepted. After two weeks, the men had found a spot and were eager to fill it before the next meeting. This caused a conflict among the staff. And at the next meeting, they went back to their camps and refused to share information about applicants. Instead of saying yes it’s good idea and discuss about applicants, they wanted to push what they thought was good. What is your next step now that there is a clear conflict between these groups of employees, and with this insubordination and disrespect for group decision? Based on team, leadership, and conflict theories, provide an answer. Keep in mind that you should only say the first next step you intend to take.

You became a manager in an organisation that trains people who are having difficulty finding work due to incarceration, drug problems, or mental health issues. When you entered this organization, women complained about that men are too easy going and compromise the standards. Men said that women are too strict and not flexible.
