ABSTRACT
One soluti on to this problem is to plan ahead and establish mutually agreeable ground rules. Set aside some time for joint meetings to satisfy the needs of the inveterate brainstormer and r e~ serve other times for uninterrupted individual work. Agree to incremental work products so that the heads~down worker does not feel constrained by the task juggler and the j uggler does not feel pressured by the focused concentrator. There are many instruments available online-at n o cost for you and your team-that will help you detennine your individual work styles and plan ahead to avoid unnecessary and potentially destructive confli ct. I have li sted some books and articles for you in "References and Readings" if you prefer print sources.
