REASONS FOR TEAM INEFFECTIVENESS
Absence of Trust
This outcome
occurs when team members are reluctant to be vulnerable with one another and
are unwilling to admit their mistakes, weaknesses, or need for help. Without a
certain comfort level among team members, a foundation of trust is not
possible.
Fear
of Conflict
Teams that are lacking trust are
incapable of engaging in unfiltered, assionate debate about key issues. It
creates situations where team conflict can easily turn into veiled discussions
and back channel comments. In a work setting where team members do not openly
air their opinions, inferior decisions result.
Lack
of Commitment
Without conflict, it is difficult for
team members to commit to decisions,
fostering an environment where ambiguity prevails. Lack of direction and commitment can make
employees, particularly star employees,
disgruntled and disenfranchised.
Avoidance
of Accountability
When teams do not commit to a clear plan
of action, even the most focused and driven individuals are hesitant to call
their peers on actions and behaviors that may seem counterproductive to the
overall good of the team.
Inattention
to Results
Team members naturally tend to put their
own needs (e.g., ego, career development, recognition, and so on) ahead of the
collective goals of the team when individuals are not held accountable. If a
team has lost sight of the need for achievement, the business ultimately
suffers.
Lack
Of Productivity, Wasted Effort And Inefficiency
Team when become
inefficient at work place. It results that lack of productivity, wasted effort
and inefficiency in a team work.
Misalignment To A Company’s Strategy And Priorities; And A Poor Dynamic With Ineffective Communication Or Mistrust
Team must work as per plan when team is
not setting priorities at work due to ineffective communication and mistrust of
among the team members in a team.
