ABSTRACT: The basis for developing vital, team-like
characteristics in contemporary pluralistic America lies in
the understanding and building of new interpersonal norms
and skills. The new norms accept human collaboration and
human diversity as basic facts for problemsolving,
survival, and growth. These norms support the intent that
interpersonal and intergroup conflict should be confronted
openly and dealt with collaboratively in a problemsolving
way. They must be accompanied by particular interpersonal
and group skills -- skills such as communicating
unambiguously in a two-way fashion, setting goals clearly,
uncovering conflicts constructively, solving problems
systematically, and making decisions collaboratively.
