All companies around the world are adopting new practices by constantly working towards reaching new levels of competitive advantage by employing teams that display different knowledge bases, talents, perspectives, experiences, and have non-identical backgrounds. If managers succeed in building an optimal cross-functional team that shows trust, can communicate optimally and can solve conflicts, it can lead to successful problem-solving. Empowering an employee in a team means giving him or her the power which includes both a higher number of new responsibilities but also a newfound sense of authority, to decide for the team without having to ask for permission for smaller-scale decisions where a manager is less needed.This book aims to examine if appointing an empowered individual in a team has an impact on the level of conflicts and if this impact has an effect on the overall performance within an organization.
