Recommendation

Teams often struggle due to poor planning, confusing communication, a negative culture and a lack of clear goals. Sometimes, capable individual team members just can’t seem to work together smoothly. You can blame that kind of dysfunction on bad “team habits,” according to leadership expert Charles Gilkey. Those habits may include an inability to prioritize, a lack of cohesion and weak decision-making. He teaches you how to repair bad team habits – start with one and keep going since they’re all connected – and inculcate better practices. A former US Army officer, Gilkey presents his guidance with admirable straightforwardness.

Take-Aways

  • When teams have bad habits, seemingly minor problems can become major disruptions.
  • Work teams are groups of four to eight people who share a strong sense of belonging.
  • Pay attention to your “workways” – culture, compliance, policies, technology and organizational structure.
