High-performance teams are a critical component of the success equation in today’s industry but with more people partnering up and working together, often more challenges surface. We usually hear the same team ailments in this industry: miscommunication, interpersonal conflict, lack of organizational structure, tasks falling through the cracks, and lack of leadership direction. Each of these areas can severely impact the team’s ability to deal with the ever increasing daily demands and the level of personal career fulfillment that each member realizes.
