Communication and Trust in Highly-Effective Teams
Posted by admin in Information Communication on April 20, 2011
CEOs and others are often more effective when they have highly-effective teams at their disposal. At the point where team members all know the team goals, interpersonal conflict is reasonable, and roles are defined, many teams can still struggle. Even with everyone pointed in the same direction, there can be problems:
some people won’t share information,
some won’t debate the issues,
some perceive a ‘kill the messenger’ pattern or have a fear of reprisal,
some may exhibit passive aggressive or aggressive behavior,
some will agree in a meeting to take action, but fail to take it, and
sometimes too many people or the wrong people in the room can cause a problem.
