Case #2: Henry Tam and the MGI Team
There are multiple conflicts in this case. Many stem from the differences between the
creative and business oriented people. There is no clear hierarchy or conflict resolution and the
whole group seems to be unsure of what they want to accomplish. The MGI team keeps
rethinking what they want and everyone has a different vision of where they want the company
to go. The meetings last too long, due and there is no clear agenda for the meetings. The MGI
team can solve these conflicts by giving everyone a clear goal of what they need to accomplish
based on their strengths. That way, everyone is utilized to their fullest and no one is sitting
around not doing anything. Everyone needs to have the same vision and goals for the company,
they can’t work together if everyone is working towards completely different things.
