In this episode, we look at the darker side of teamwork...and situations when teamwork isn't working for you.
Do any of these sound familiar?
- 'Decision Desert' - where everyone in the team waits for someone else to decide to move forward. All opinions are welcomed for the effort of being shown to be collaborating, but there's a lot of confusion, and ultimately no decision is made.
- 'Misty Valley' - catering to everyone because you don't want to upset anyone, but it's leading to a lack of clarity. Many discussions may happen, and people may follow along, but ultimately, not everyone understands the vision completely.
- 'Murky Meetings Mountains' - ever been to a meeting, but you're not sure what you're there for? There's no agenda, or it's a meeting that could have been done via email? There are actions to come out of it, but nothing is done in between the meetings, so you're on a roundabout where the same thing keeps happening.
- 'Forest of Irresponsibility' - this is where no one takes accountability. There's a feeling amongst the team that someone will do it. It can then lead to no one doing it.
- 'Volcano' - work is going in all different directions at differing levels. Still, there is an uneven or unfair distribution of effort as someone on the team may say they will do it but only because others don't.
Remember to listen back in Season 2 Episode 5 for "Teamwork makes your dream work" for more information about improving your team's effectiveness.
