Is Your Group Headed for Failure?
When you
ask people to describe the experience of working in
teams, they sometimes use words like “frustrating”,
“disappointing”, and “waste of time”. But on the other
hand, when you ask them to identify peak experiences at
work, people frequently cite times when they worked with
a highly effective group to accomplish a particularly
challenging task.
So what
makes the difference? How
can you tell whether a team will produce outstanding
results or flame out completely?
Here are a few
warning signs that you should watch for:

People have been complaining about me.
Q: I was
recently told by both my boss and human resources that
people have been complaining about me.
My coworkers say I act superior and try to
oversee their work.
Apparently, my genuine offers of assistance have
been viewed as meddling.
Since I am the senior person in both age and experience,
I try to help out when people have issues with their
projects. My
philosophy has always been "let no one ever come to you
without leaving better and happier".
I do have a strong personality, but I believe my
suggestions are useful.
What am I doing wrong?
