Tension

I would say that these issues tend to linger. Over the years I have had calls that I felt went poorly, decisions made that I questioned or issues with how a member of the team treated or interacted with me. By not dealing with these issues I feel that one or all of you build resentment and end up not wanting to work with the other person or worse yet talking about them to other co-workers and attacking them as a professional or a person. By sitting down after the fact in a constructive, calm manner and talking it out you both have the opportunity to explain yourself and your thought process and understand the other person's point of view and reasons for their actions. Hopefully this will be sufficient to facilitate better communication in the future and put the issue to rest. If there is a serious safety or clinical care problem or if resolution is not achieved maybe it's time to get management involved to facilitate or medicate the conversation. I feel it's better to act like an adult and treat the person with respect rather than hold a grudge or talk behind their back.
