Creating an Effective Team Environment

Content: Uncertainly about who “owns” a decision in the organization. Decision making process is slow and/or cumbersome (decisions are “revisited” numerous times, piled onto one person, or made only at the last possible minute). “Star performers” are held to different interpersonal standards. Angry outbursts and rude behavior are not addressed or are forgiven without consequence. “Poor performers” are hiding in the corners and getting away with it. Open conflict or detrimental competition in meetings or work spaces. Cliques form around “playground bullies” where passive aggressive exclusion of a few is the norm. Passive agreement to decisions with little or no effort to implement. Undermining management decisions and chronic complaining about what “they” are doing to “us.” It is my experience, that ineffective leadership and team development is a root cause to most of these issues.
