Healing Dysfunctional Teams

Team Development

Dysfunctional teams are a toxic influence in organizations. Not only can dysfunction sap productivity and revenue, they can also cause disillusionment, apathy, and a high rate of turnover. Even worse, dysfunction can spread like a disease, multiplying the damage exponentially.

"I love working with so-called "Dysfunctional" teams. Why? Because they are usually full of good people who want to make a difference. Most troubled teams will heal themselves if given the right tools and encouragement. That's my role - helping teams help themselves. The results are astounding." - Cheri Baker

Dysfunction usually arises from destructive patterns of behavior.
Disciplinary action or firing people often makes dysfunction worse, not better.
Dysfunction is rarely due to "attitude problems" although it often appears this way.
Teams can "turn things around" fairly rapidly under the right conditions.
