You know how great it feels when your whole team is on the same page. You feel super connected and your communication is so easy like swimming downstream. This happens when all team members know what they want, what others want and step UP to collaborate.
But some other times, team communication is like banging your head against a wall. Why? Well, most likely some of your team members are behaving in ways that can mess up collaboration.
Feigning agreement, withdrawing from discussions, having side conversations outside the team meeting, presenting their views as facts, or dismissing others’ perspectives.
These behaviors can disrupt candor and curiosity on your team, two essential elements of free-flowing authentic communication, leading to forced decisions or compromises, and ultimately failure to achieve shared goals. So look out for those behaviors.
