Context
Effective communication among members of a health care team results in a unified approach to patient care problems. As patient/family advocates, nurses are uniquely positioned to coordinate, collaborate, and communicate. Highly skilled communicators are actually great listeners. They collect and process information in an effort to fully understand issues and concerns. They gather information from a variety of sources: patients, licensed and unlicensed providers, and their own intuition. Exceptional communicators then filter and share information with team members (Apker, Propp, Zabava Ford, & Hofmeister, 2006).

In nursing, effective communication is increasingly viewed as a mark of professionalism (Propp et al., 2010). When paired with collaboration and coordination, communication becomes the vehicle for assuring positive patient outcomes. But what happens when disparate personalities come together with a common goal? How will communication and collaboration take place?
Teams that function effectively have determined how to work synergistically, communicate clearly, and address conflict. There are two types of dysfunction: emotional conflict and task conflict. In each type, the resulting outcome may be constructive or destructive (Almost, 2006). It is in our diversity that conflict may erupt. Diversity may include culture, values, language, age, thinking style, or a myriad of other attributes that make us each unique.
