Do meetings end with sufficiently clear decisions, owners and delivery conditions?
Leadership team
Excellent professionals do not automatically make a good team
The difficulty may lie not in each member's competence but in how the leadership team disagrees, shares information, closes decisions and works together.
A familiar situation
The problem may not be where it first appears
A leadership team can bring together experienced people and still produce ambiguous decisions, side conversations and excessive dependence on the director. Individually, each member protects their responsibilities well. The problem appears in what can only be resolved together.
Before choosing a response
What is really happening?
You do not need to write down your answers. Read slowly and notice the questions that are hard to ignore.
Does disagreement appear in the room or afterwards in side conversations?
Are topics reopened without new information justifying a rethink?
Do members address tensions directly or wait for the director to mediate?
Does the team own the shared outcome, or does each person mainly protect their own responsibility?
