Even on teams that are performing well, one or more members may become disruptive to the team’s progress…or just make being on the team an unpleasant experience.
As team leaders & team members having some techniques and preparation of how to create a system that will ameliorate this will place the team back on the path toward success, while the team member feels respected and part of the team.
The Not-Enough-Time Member: Never has time for the team meetings, tasks and work, always “has to go early”, and in a rush.
The Disengaged Member: Has either lost interest or never had any interest in the team’s work, meetings, and efforts.
The Power Monger: Always working to assume authority and take over the team. Constantly feels a need to take over the discussion and work.
The Legalist: Everything the team does MUST follow the rules, exactly as they are stated.
The Pain in the Neck: consistently argumentative, every slight change and task and work expectation is a HUGE ordeal.
We have all been there, even with High Performing Teams. One or more team members can be seen as disruptive and finds a need to either act-out or take over the team project…just making the team meeting unpleasant.
