Conflict Compass TTU: Team Conflict
Conflict Compass Team Conflict - Targeted Repair and Reinforcement
When a full Team Tune Up (TTU) uncovers deeper issues between specific individuals, the next step isn’t another team‑wide intervention — it’s focused, relational repair. Conflict Compass TTU: Team Conflict provides targeted support for the people whose dynamics continue to strain the team, the workflow, or the culture. This is the work that ensures the progress made in the TTU doesn’t unravel once everyone returns to their routines.
This phase is not about re‑running the TTU. It’s about addressing the remaining friction points with precision, discretion, and a clear plan for long‑term stability.
Why Targeted Repair Matters
Even in highly successful TTUs, certain relationships need more attention. Sometimes two employees are locked in a pattern that can’t be resolved in a group setting. Sometimes one person’s behavior continues to impact the team. Sometimes a supervisor has unintentionally reinforced the dynamic through avoidance, inconsistency, or fatigue.
Targeted repair allows us to focus on the specific people and behaviors that still need attention — without involving the entire team unnecessarily.
What This Looks Like
Every team’s challenges are different, so the structure of this work varies based on what your situation requires. Depending on the dynamics involved, the process may include a combination of:
- Individual Coaching for the Employees Involved
- Private, structured conversations that help each person understand expectations, strengthen communication, and build the skills needed to shift the relationship in a healthier direction.
- Mediation Between the Parties
- Facilitated conversations designed to reset the working relationship, clarify agreements, and establish a shared path forward.
- Coaching for the Supervisor
Together, these strategies provide the focused attention needed to help the individuals involved move toward more stable, productive working relationships, ensuring that the progress made in the Compass TTU continues to hold over time.

When This Service Is the Right Fit
Conflict Compass TTU: Team Conflict is ideal when:
- a full TTU has already occurred, but certain relationships still need focused attention
- two or more employees remain in conflict despite team‑wide work
- a supervisor needs support reinforcing expectations or managing difficult behavior
- the team is stable overall, but one or two dynamics continue to create disruption
- the organization wants to protect the progress made in the TTU and prevent backsliding
This is the “precision tool” of the Conflict Compass suite — the work that strengthens the parts of the system most at risk.
The Goal: Reinforcement That Holds
We don’t aim for superficial harmony. We aim for clarity, accountability, and a path forward that everyone understands and can maintain; therefore, repair is only half the work. Reinforcement is what ensures the change lasts.
By combining individual coaching, mediation, and supervisory partnership, this service helps teams avoid slipping back into old patterns — and gives leaders the tools to maintain the progress long after the intervention ends.
