The management has to take steps in developing individuals in the following attributes:1.
Harmonisation: Individuals should feel easy with each other.
Every person should be approachable.
If one junior find a problem at a certain stage he should go and engage one of his seniors and he should help him out.2.
Loyalty: All staff members should be proud of belonging to this organization.
This is one quality that brings people together because they have a sense of ownership.3.
Reward culture: If an individual has done something excellent, however insignificant it may be, recognise it and if possible reward it suitably.
On the other hand if a mistake has been carried out either inadvertently or due to lack of knowledge then do not punish him/her.

There should be a culture of "No punishment" but counselling and warning only.4.
