Lack Of Planning

Teams are often formed with little planning or forethought. When people come together on a team, they have questions that must be addressed: Why are we together? What are the goals? What role will each of us play? What is expected of me?

Lack of support for a team culture

This shows up in various ways, all of which are damaging. For example, management “empowers” the team, but still demands that everything be cleared through senior leadership, or management refuses to decrease other responsibilities for people participating on the team.

Lack of resources

An inadequate budget, training or time to do the job right.

Lack of clarity

No agreement on how team members are expected to behave toward one another.

Lack of mutual accountability

This means holding people accountable to agreements. Not confronting a broken agreement can lead to poor results, lack of commitment and lack of trust.

Lack of effective or shared leadership

A high-performing team is one in which leadership is shared, and each and every member is responsible for team functioning.

Lack of focus on creativity and excellence

This lack of focus negatively impacts the quality of team interaction and the quality of the final product.

Inability to deal with conflict

Poor training or strategies for dealing with conflict—especially conflict that is caused by personal, political, or power issues and agendas.

Lack of training

This applies not only to the leader but to all members. For example, just knowing that teams go through predictable stages—including conflict—can depersonalize and diffuse some of the natural tensions that are felt in a group.

Poor use of teams

Not all organizational challenges require a team; some are better handled by individuals. A team is appropriate when multiple skills and perspectives are needed to accomplish the goal.
