HELPFUL AND HARMFUL BEHAVIOR IN
TEAMWORK
HELPFUL BEHAVIOR:
1. ABSENCE OF TRUST
- This occurs when team members are reluctant to be
vulnerable with one another and are unwilling to admit their
mistakes, weaknesses, or need for help.
2. FEAR OF CONFLICT
- Teams that lack trust are incapable of engaging in
unfiltered, passionate debate about key issues, causing
situations where team conflict can easily turn into veiled
discussions and back channel comments.
