Module 1: Establishing Diagnostic Frameworks for Team Conflict

Selecting between structural, relational, and process-based conflict models based on team composition and organizational context.
Defining operational conflict thresholds that trigger formal intervention without over-pathologizing healthy debate.
Integrating existing team performance metrics (e.g., meeting effectiveness, decision latency) into conflict baselines.
