I’ve have found myself in Russ and Corey’s potion many times and responded exactly the same way. It is a real eye opener to see the root of conflict. Do you believe the bounus system increases the conflict? Or is it based entirely on the lack of desicions made by upper management? Is there a better way to set up a bonus system without pitting one team against another?
