Transcendo: Effectiveness Unboxed

Did your Team just make a stupid decision? Blame it on the following!

Looking London, talking Tokyo: Team members aren’t aligned or connected to a common outcome. Everyone is thinking on different planes.

Johnny/Jane jump ahead: Members jump to solutions before understanding the problem

Agreement Illusion: Team mates agree quickly to just “move on” to avoid conflict. Ideas aren’t challenged. Fatigue, overconfidence and/or power distance are the culprits. Remember the Challenger space shuttle debacle?

Kangaroo Hop: Meeting doesn’t have a structured agenda, discussions aren’t focused; everyone is all around the place, topics are jumped or missed.

Pound wise, penny foolish: Team mates align on major issues but squabble over minor details

All talk, no action: Members over analyse non critical points, veer off course and do more lip service than action.
