It is the conflict between team members , it causing by losing opportunities and wasting times and many times causing by down the productivity and performance of the team.
I agree with Mr. Omar Saad Ibrahem answer, thanks for the invitation
In my opinion, Crisis Management makes everybody to waste the most of all their productive time. This does not happen in every organisation but complicated that does not encourage resolving the crisis arise from time to time. Such organisation demands many data and reports and conduct frequent meeting to analyse. In this form productive time get wasted.
Thanks for the invite ............................ I do not know because I do not work
It is not easy to answer in a professional way, even after careful study of a problem we might need days to solve it successfully, all companies are not facing any problems, type of business and many others points to be considered before answering the query as there are several types of problems.
Conflicts are the most problem that managers could face. in addition to having unqualified people in his team.

Thanks for the invitation....I agree with Mr. Omar Saad Ibrahem
This is a good and useful question, I wish to find acceptable answer
Mistake #1. Failing to Keep a To-Do List
Do you ever have that nagging feeling that you have forgotten to do an important piece of work? If so, you probably do not use a To-Do List to keep on top of things. (Alternatively, if you do, you might not be using it effectively!)The trick with using To-Do Lists effectively lies in prioritizing the tasks on your list. Many people use an A – F coding system (A for high priority items, F for very low priorities). Alternatively, you can simplify this by using A through D, or by using numbers.
If you have large projects on your list, then, unless you are careful, the entries for these can be vague and ineffective. For instance, you may have written down "Start on budget proposal." However, what does this entail? The lack of specifics here might cause you to procrastinate, or Miss Key steps. So make sure that you break large tasks or projects down into specific, actionable steps – then you will not overlook something important.
You can also use Action Programs to manage your work when you have many large projects happening at once. (Action Programs are "industrial strength" versions of To-Do Lists.)
Mistake #2. Not Setting Personal Goals
Do you know where you would like to be in six months? What about this time next year, or even 10 years from now? If not, it is time to set some personal goals!
Personal goal setting is essential to managing your time well, because goals give you a destination and vision to work toward, when you know where you want to go, you can manage your priorities, time, and resources to get there. Goals also help you decide what is worth spending your time on, and what just a distraction is.
To learn how to set SMART, effective goals, read up on Locke's Goal Setting Theory. Here, you will learn how to set clearly defined goals that will keep you motivated.

Mistake #3. Not Prioritizing
Your assistant has just walked in with a crisis that she needs you to deal with right now, but you are in the middle of brainstorming ideas for a new client. You are sure that you have almost come up with a brilliant idea for their marketing campaign, but now you risk losing the thread of your thinking because of this "emergency."
Sometimes, it is hard to know how to prioritize, especially when you are facing a flood of seemingly urgent tasks. However, it is essential to learn how to prioritize tasks effectively if you want to manage your time better.
One tool that will help you prioritize effectively is the Action Priority Matrix, which will help you determine if a task is high-yield and high-priority, or low-value, "fill in" work. You will manage your time much better during the day if you know the difference.

Mistake #4. Failing to Manage Distractions
Do you know that some of us can lose as much as two hours a day to distractions? Think how much you could get done if you had that time back!
Whether they come from emails, IM chats, colleagues in a crisis, or phone calls from clients, distractions prevent us from achieving flow , which is the satisfying and seemingly effortless work that we do when we're 100 percent engaged in a task.
If you want to gain control of your day and do your best work, it is vital to know how to minimize distractions and manage interruptions effectively. For instance, turn off your IM chat when you need to focus, and let people know if they are distracting you too often. You should also learn how to improve your concentration, even when you are faced with distractions.
Additionally, our article on managing email effectively teaches you how to gain control of your email, so that it does not eat up your entire day.
Mistake #5. Procrastination
Procrastination occurs when you put off tasks that you should be focusing on right now. When you procrastinate, you feel guilty that you have not started; you come to dread doing the task; and, eventually, everything catches up with you when you fail to complete the work on time.
Start by taking our procrastination quiz to find out if procrastination is a problem in your life. If it is, then learn the strategies you need to beat procrastination.
For instance, one useful strategy is to tell yourself that you are only going to start on a project for ten minutes. Often, procrastinators feel that they have to complete a task from start to finish, and this high expectation makes them feel overwhelmed and anxious. Instead, focus on devoting a small amount of time to starting. That is all!
You might also find it helpful to use Action Plans. These help you break large projects down into manageable steps, so that it is easy to see everything that you need to be done, and so that you can complete small chunks at a time. Doing this can stop you from feeling overwhelmed at the start of a new project.

Our Bite-Sized Training session, Overcoming Procrastination, gives you more in-depth strategies and tips for dealing with procrastination.
Mistake #6. Taking on too much
Are you a person who has a hard time saying "no" to people? If so, you probably have far too many projects and commitments on your plate. This can lead to poor performance, stress, and low morale.
Alternatively, you might be a micromanager: someone who insists on controlling or doing all of the work himself or herself, because they cannot trust anyone else to do it correctly. (This can be a problem for everyone – not just managers!)
Either way, taking on too much is a poor use of your time, or it can get you a reputation for producing rushed, sloppy work.

If the other person starts leaning on you to say "yes" to their request, learn how to think on your feet, and stay cool under pressure.
Mistake #7. Thriving on "Busy"
Some people get a rush from being busy. The narrowly met deadlines, the endless emails, the piles of files needing attention on the desk, the frantic race to the meeting... What an adrenaline buzz!
The problem is that an "addiction to busyness" rarely means that you are effective, and it can lead to stress.
Instead, try to slow down, and learn to manage your time better.

Mistake #8. Multitasking
To get on top of her workload, Linda regularly writes emails while she chats on the phone to her clients. However, while Linda thinks that this is a good use of her time, the truth is that it can take 20-40 percent more time to finish a list of jobs when you multitask, compared with completing the same list of tasks in sequence. The result is also that she does both tasks poorly – her emails are full of errors, and her clients frustrated by her lack of concentration.
Therefore, the best thing is to forget about multitasking, and, instead, focus on one task at a time. That way, you will produce higher quality work.
Our Expert Interview with Dave Crenshaw, looking at The Myth of Multitasking, will give you an enlightening look at multitasking, and will help you explore how you can manage simultaneous projects more effectively.
Mistake #9. Not Taking Breaks
It is nice to think that you can work for 8-10 hours straight, especially when you are working to a deadline. However, it is impossible for anyone to focus and produce really high-quality work without giving their brains some time to rest and recharge.
So, do not dismiss breaks as "wasting time." They provide valuable downtime, which will enable you to think creatively and work effectively.
If it is hard for you to stop working, then schedule breaks for yourself, or set an alarm as a reminder. Go for a quick walk, grab a cup of coffee, or just sit and meditate at your desk. Try to take a five-minute break every hour or two. In addition, make sure that you give yourself ample time for lunch – you will not produce top quality work if you are hungry!
Mistake #10. Ineffectively Scheduling Tasks
Are you a morning person? Alternatively, do you find your energy picking up once the sun begins to set in the evening? All of us have different rhythms, that is, different times of day when we feel most productive and energetic.
You can make best use of your time by scheduling high-value work during your peak time, and low-energy work (like returning phone calls and checking email), during your "down" time. Our article, Is This a Morning Task? Will teach you how to do this.
