Dear Abdulaziz
As Yousif indicated, try and avoid emotions at you work place. Secondly, I would like know how your work is organized e.g., whether you have a team leader, production schedules and whether you have meetings to gauge progress and give feedback etc. It is through such kind of organized workplans that the inefficicent working mates can be advised to improved and/or take the consequences of their inabilities.
Thank you all Anna Ebers Broughel
James Odeck Yousif Yaqoob Yousif for your positive thoughts and valuable opinions.Dear James Odeck I meant that when you work with a group sometimes you face members who have different altitude of doing the tasks, even if you organize meetings and preparing stuff to overcome the difficulties you are facing through the process. This is the draw back of group works, and you need to take action to make things straight.
Watch the movie or TV show, called, "The Odd Couple," There you see Felix who is super organized vs Oscar who is super disorganized. In other words see this situation in a humorous way.

I think there are a few good practices for teams that might help to channel tensions:
- regular check in how your colleagues are doing personally (we do it regularly at the beginning of our weekly research group meetings). Most often people have emotional baggage which can explain their carelessness. If you know about it, it is much easier to accept.
- regularly provide feedback, but in a systematic and structured manner, i.e. confidential, constructive feedback and only if the person on the receiving end is open to accept the feedback, not unsolicited.
- figure out the strength and weaknesses of people in the group. People who are less organized will have other strengths that you can use. Being aware of strengths/weakness and preferences might help to design a less frustrating division of labour and make use of individual strength to the benefit of the entire group.
