Team Failure Mechanisms
Through many years of both industrial management experience and as consultants to management in many aspects of organizational performance, the principals of Customer Manufacturing Group have witnessed a host of failed team-based projects and activities. From this experience we've compiled or own list of real world causes of failed or sub-par team performance.
Our list of the ten most commonly practiced* causes of poor team performance:
1. Team members don't understand the mission
2. Team members lack empowerment
3. Team members are not matched to the mission
4. Poor fit of each member to his/her role
"Role" warrants a special note: Everyone has their own approach to life, that is, how each of us thinks and goes about accomplishing things. The key in a team is to understand how we can apply our personal approach in a team role in a challenging and innovative team project1 .
5. Members don't understand each other's natural approaches
6. No development of the individuals' innate talents
7. Team roles don't match individuals' personal fulfillment goals
8. Individual performance isn't linked to organizational goals
9. No linkage of personal performance and team responsibility
10. Inability to transform team member diversity into synergy
1 Customer Manufacturing Group uses a powerful assessment tool to guide you through this challenging people performance issue.
