如何讓兩個很不同的團隊可以一起協作？

我們很容易認為同一家公司可以有同樣的文化，分享同樣的價值與同樣的運作模式。但是不同的團隊通常會有不同的工作方式，如此會讓不同的團隊之間的協作會面臨挑戰。

例如，一個團隊可能認為解決衝突的最好作法是集體解決，而另外一個團隊會認為最好是私下協調。

而要讓不同的團隊之間協作，有其他選擇：

1. 採用同一種作法。例如，如果某個團隊習慣私下解決衝突，則可以開始要求在會議中公開的討論。
2. 將兩種作法整合在一起。兩個團隊可以先私下協調彼此的衝突，然後提到比較大的團隊中去協調。
3. 作出妥協。兩個團隊可以自行決定如何協調衝突，而作出妥協是最後的作法，因為這會使每個人都覺得不滿意。

How can two different teams work together?

It is easy to think that the same company can have the same culture, share the same value and the same mode of operation. But different teams usually have different ways of working, which makes the collaboration between different teams challenging.

For example, one team may think that the best solution to a conflict is a collective solution, while the other team would think it better to be in private coordination.

There are other options for working with different teams:

1. Follow the same approach. For example, if a team is used to resolving conflicts privately, it is possible to start asking for public discussions in the meeting.
2. Integrate the two approaches. The two teams can coordinate their conflicts in private and then refer to the larger teams to coordinate.
3. Make a compromise. Two teams can decide how to coordinate conflicts by themselves, and making compromises is the last resort, because it makes everyone feel dissatisfied.
