Whenever you organize a group of people to accomplish an activity, there will be interpersonal politics. It is a necessary and useful part of any group activity. But too much political overhead saps an organization of its strength. Especially beware of conflicts surrounding politically correct but operationally naive initiatives. These debates will divide your employees and create significant friction. Better to head it off immediately and forcefully than to allow the issue to fester. Terminate troublemakers with extreme prejudice and be prepared to fight them in court. Better the fight take place off premises.
