Course Description
How do you deal with a negative team member? Can you take steps to improve your team’s culture? Your experience with a team will shape your daily work experience. Collaboration is essential for teams to achieve their goals. When a team has collaboration issues, they may experience losses in productivity, poor-quality work output, and missed deadlines. In severe cases, these issues could damage team morale and relationships among team members. Some situations might call for a more intervention-style discussion, in which your whole team is present with the problem individual or individuals to discuss their negativity, where each side can share their story and how they feel. As long as team members keep the discussion professional, they can find solutions together.
