While developing the teams, the management group finds that there is currently some internal conflict among two of the employees chosen for this project. Clyde Cousins has spoken to his current manager twice regarding his feelings that Dan Tully is intentionally creating problems on the production line, which is causing Clyde to miss his quality checks. Dan insists that he has no idea what Clyde is referring to and does not understand why Clyde is trying to cause problem. Dan now goes to his own superintendent because he feels Clyde is spreading rumors that he is looking for other work. Clyde advises his own manager that he is not sure why Dan thinks this because he has never said anything like that.
Before the new teams are formed, the management group knows they must resolve this issue so that the new production teams can operate smoothly. Both Dan and Clyde are good employees with positive performance reviews, and they were chosen for the new project because of this reason.
