Unfortunately not every team flourishes all the time. Many teams today fall into very toxic team behaviors. Today’s cartoon is the sixth in our Teams365 series and illustrates a very common toxic behavior pattern - the water cooler talk. Does this happen at your organization? Chances are, it does.
The somewhat innocuous water cooler talk can turn into behavior which erodes trust amongst team members. Trust is a foundational per-cursor to highly effective teams.
Last week I delivered a presentation on Trust and Cohesive Teams to the Women in Capital Markets Sharpen Your Skills Series. We shared dialogue around more than a dozen behaviors that build trust. A post later this week will explore some of these twelve behaviors that build trust individually within teams as well as collectively.
As you look at today’s cartoon, how is this similar to what happens in your organization? What needs to be made more transparent in your team/organization?
