Six Barriers to Effective Teams
Full Day Training Program
-
Barrier #6: Focus on Individual Agendas Over Team Outcomes
When personal ambitions take precedence, the team’s shared objectives are neglected, undermining group achievements and long-term success.
-
Barrier #5: Lack of Mutual Accountability
In a team that avoids uncomfortable conversations, performance issues go unaddressed, eroding both individual and collective responsibility.
-
Barrier #4: Unclear Direction and Weak Commitment
Without a unified vision or strong agreement, decisions become tentative, leading to second-guessing and hesitation when it’s time to act.
-
Barrier #3: Resistance to Change and Adaptability
When teams cling to familiar practices and resist new approaches, they limit their ability to evolve and meet the challenges of an ever-changing environment. Flexibility and openness to change are essential for sustained success.
-
Barrier #2: Avoidance of Constructive Disagreements
Teams that avoid disagreements in favor of surface-level peace miss out on the dynamic conversations that spark innovation and solve tough challenges.
-
Barrier #1: Fragile Foundations of Trust
When team members guard their vulnerabilities, they build walls instead of bridges, limiting the authentic relationships needed for teamwork to thrive.
