Summary of team failures

Feature 1: team members do not often have meetings or just pretend to have meetings.

Do you often have meetings with other team members? What's more, is it true to have a meeting together or pretend to have a meeting together? The form of a meeting is not important, but the sharing of information and brainstorming. The meeting is truly discussing and solving problems. Pretending to be in a meeting together is just a passing meeting. I think we have all held such a meeting.

Feature 2: Team members do not understand each other's goals, pressures, and assistance.

Do you understand the goals, pressure, and help of other team members? If a team member is not in a meeting together, or simply pretend to be in a meeting together on the surface, they will not understand the goals, pressure, and assistance of other team members.

Feature 3: there is no clear division of responsibility, authority, and profit among team members.

Do you have a clear division of responsibility, authority, and profit between you and other team members? Team members must have a clear distribution of responsibilities, powers, and interests, which is the first step in building a team. Why do the three monks have no water to eat? Because there is no clear division of labor between them. If everyone is responsible for one thing, it is often that no one is responsible.

Feature 4: Team members lack complementary capabilities.

Can other team members help you? Team members should be able to help each other, just like in a football team, the forward needs a pass, and the goalkeeper needs a defender to help defend. This help requires competence. If an NBA team chooses me to cooperate with Yao Ming, the team will definitely lose.

Feature 5: there is no clear team collaboration process.

Do you have a clear workflow on how you work with team members? If they cannot cooperate with each other, they will also lose when they get together. This is why the American dream team with the best NBA players won only the bronze medal at a certain Olympic Games. To work with each other, there should be a clear (not necessarily written) workflow.

Feature 6: Team members do not agree with the team's processes and systems.

Do you agree with the team's processes and systems? In fact, many teams have processes, but these processes, like other systems, are often written on paper, or simply stuck in the mouth of the team leader, or enforced by the company, not recognized by team members.

Feature 7: Team members cannot participate in major decisions of the team.

Will the team ask for your opinion on major decisions? An important reason why the Team process and system are not accepted by the team members is that the opinions of the team members are not taken into account during the formulation. It does not mean that a major decision requires a vote by a team member, but it is necessary to solicit opinions.

Feature 8: No team cooperation is rewarded, and no team cooperation is punished.

If you help other team members, What benefits do you get? Team spirit is cultivated rather than obtained by command, and an important means of cultivation is the salary and reward system. If you do not assess team cooperation and do not reward team cooperation, there will be no team cooperation in most cases. Therefore, in addition to rewarding the scoring players, the football team will also reward the assists players.

Feature 9: Team members cannot share team results.

Will your team benefit from achieving significant results, even if you did not make a direct contribution? If sales have quadrupled, but only sales personnel are rewarded, it is very likely that the Logistics Department says the delivery is not timely, and the Finance Department says the invoicing is not timely. Therefore, each of the football teams that won the medal will receive the award, including substitutes who have never been on the stage.

Feature 10: Team members do not trust team leaders.

Do you trust your team leaders? If a team leader cannot set an example, do not share his or her words and deeds, and do not trust him or her. At the same time, the Team members trust the leaders who can lead the team to success. If a team shows the preceding nine features, the major reason is that the Team Leader's poor leadership will fail, and the team leader will not be trusted.
