Conflict resolution
Disagreement on a team is normal; what varies is whether it gets aired and resolved or buried and left to fester. Most people's instinct when tension rises is to either avoid it entirely or meet heat with heat, and neither lowers the temperature. Handling conflict well is a small set of skills: staying calm, naming what's happening, finding the actual issue underneath. And those skills can be taught.
Why this subject matters
When conflict goes unmanaged, it rarely disappears; it goes underground. Two people stop collaborating, a small misunderstanding calcifies into a grudge, and everyone nearby starts walking around the problem rather than through it. The energy a team spends managing unspoken tension is energy it isn't spending on the work, and over time that quiet drain is exhausting.
This is genuinely hard because conflict triggers a physical stress response: the moment things get heated, clear thinking is the first thing to go. Few of us were ever shown what to actually do in that moment, so we fall back on the instincts we have, which tend to make things worse. Struggling here isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of being human without having been given the tools.
The need is sharpest on teams where people work shoulder to shoulder and can't simply avoid each other when things get tense. A short training that offers a clear way to de-escalate and a few words to reach for in the moment is something that genuinely changes how a team handles its rough patches.
Structure and types of content in the template
On Eli, every template is a one-to-two-week training or engagement program that takes each participant only a few minutes a day. These programs draw on three types of content: questions, memos, and actions. Questions invite employees to share their point of view on a subject, either to poll them anonymously or to get them thinking about a habit they might have. Memos are small knowledge nuggets that take a few seconds to read, may feature an infographic or an educational video, and always come with a quiz. Actions are concrete steps employees can put into practice during their day, either with their team or on their own in the field.
By bringing these three types of content together, Eli creates an efficient, complete training cycle in which employees question, learn, and practice, all within a single training sprint, and in record time.

How to get the most out of it
Our templates are a solid place to start, but using them as-is will only get you about 60% of the result you expect. To drive real change in your teams, you'll need to adapt them to your exact needs, your company culture, your internal policies, and more.
On Eli, our AI agent takes care of it for you: describe your needs, upload your relevant documents, and our agent does the rest.
