You might think that your team can’t be fixed. But what most people don’t know is that there are actually 3-5 main reasons that teams are struggling right now:
- Lack of communication from Leadership about the state of the business and/or state of everyone’s jobs.
- Constant fear and anxiety over layoffs, and the resulting negative behaviors.
- Uneven redistribution of tasks/responsibilities/workload after layoffs.
- Lack of clear communication about goals and expectations, leaving employees fearful that they’re next to be laid off.
- Leaders are too busy to continue training, so employees feel a lack of growth combined with constant fear and anxiety.
Of course, there are going to be occasional exceptions to these rules, but for the most part, the explanation will fall into one (or all) of those categories.
