5 Ridiculously Simple Ways to Improve Your Team

You know those communications…the ones where you just can’t
pay attention or roll your eyes.

Have you ever been on a losing team? What would you have changed
if you were the leader?

Don’t set your team up for failure.
Whether you’re the team leader or a team member,
don’t let the following 5 scenarios happen in your office.

On a Losing Team, People:

1. Do not know what is expected.

2. Do not know how he/she is doing.

3. Cannot do the required skills.

4. Lack organizational support.

5. Have poor relationships.

What Can YOU Do When You See Your Team’s Success Dwindle?

1.  Ask questions and be clear about what is expected from your company, colleagues, and your boss.

2.  Find out how you are doing a few times/year and NOT just during evaluations.

3.  Know what the required skills are for you and others and get training immediately.

4.  Look for another job if there is no support from the top.

5.  You don’t have to like your colleagues.  Let go of old issues if they are getting in the way.
Do your best to change a negative situation into something a bit more manageable in order to
move forward.

Please write questions about your own conflict or communication situations at work.
You are not alone.  There is usually a second right answer once you brainstorm with an ally!
