Your organization has worked hard to eliminate proverbial “silos” by encouraging collaboration between various Departments. This has created some interesting conflicts between managers, however, as support staff are occasionally given different competing projects to complete by different managers and each manager routinely considers his or her projects to be more important than those of others. On more than one occasion, critical tasks within your office were not completed because support staff were working on projects for other managers with similar deadlines. What is the underlying problem that is impacting your employee’s ability to do what they are supposed to do? Do you consider this to be a personnel issue, an organizational issue, or both? How do you believe this problem can be addressed with your subordinates? Is it enough to work with only your subordinates on the issue, or does the conversation need to go further in the organization? What type of feedback loop is (or should be) in place for your subordinates if conflicting work is assigned?
