barriers to teamwork

Trust is the foundation to every solid and functional team. Without trust team members will hold back thoughts and opinions for fear of conflict with negative consequences, won’t be as committed, won’t ask for help, will misjudge the intentions of teammates and so forth and so on.

Poor communication on teams can occur for a lot of reasons and range from convoluted messages, lack of full participation by team members, leaders withholding information, lack of cascading key information and using the wrong vehicle for communication (e-mail as opposed the phone or face to face).
