Objective:

Key Steps:
1. Identify Behavior Types

- Power Struggles: Recognize signs of power struggles, like conflicts or resistance to authority.
- Revenge Mode: Watch out for behaviors aimed at hurting others due to feeling hurt or neglected.
- Display of Inadequacy or Withdrawal: Notice signs of helplessness or inability to complete tasks independently.
2. Addressing Needs
- Attention-Seeking: Provide attention and support, listen actively, and offer assistance where needed.
- Power Struggles: Communicate clearly, set boundaries, and address underlying issues causing resistance.
- Revenge Mode: Approach with empathy, address underlying hurt feelings, and seek resolution through open communication.

Cautionary Notes:

- Avoid dismissing or ignoring behavioral cues, as they often indicate unmet needs that require attention.
- Maintain professionalism and empathy when addressing behavioral issues, focusing on understanding rather than judgment.

- Provide training on conflict resolution and effective communication to help team members navigate challenging situations.
