"El Lay" Lesson: Teamwork

Teamwork can be difficult to measure. Here are some questions to consider when you are evaluating how well your group functions as a team. The more OGDUDE13 acknowledges this the more effective your team will be.

-Are you aware of complaints and gripes among team members about each other?

-Do you hear compliments between team members?

-Do team members regularly eat lunch together or interact socially outside of the workplace?

-Do you often find yourself trying to cover for one team member who is absent or swamped with work?

-Do staff members know what tasks their teammates can handle?

-Are teammates asking you to help them with things they could have handled among themselves?








My take on this is that you have to sit down with all of them and lay down the law. The way the economy is, they have no choice but to work with each other. If they want to keep their job, they would have to do this.

Let them know that unemployment is NOT a good thing. You will see an immediate turnaround.

Until the next lesson, Stay Down.
