x) Wrong Attitudes
Allowing into the transitional team people with the wrong attitudes, ie
- who are closed-minded, ie custodians of the traditions or supporters of the status quo
- who have no passion for change, ie talkers rather than doers
- who are regarded as outsiders, ie not part of the mainstream of the organisation
- who have big egos, ie must always have their own way
- who are control freaks, ie need to tick boxes and follow a predetermined path
- who create mistrust, ie are not honest
- who are reluctant players, ie conscripts
- who are "I" (eye) specialists, ie "I have done this and that"
- who display "Fig Jam"syndrome, ie F--- I'm Good, Just Ask Me
- who are non-believers, ie resistors and/or CAVEs and/or custodians of the traditions
- who have meetings outside the team meeting, ie have a different agenda
- who are volunteers, ie always want to join something that is new and they tend to loss interest "once the novelty has worn off"
- who get the results, ie deliver on commitments; make the numbers, but do not share the values of the organisation, ie get the results by any means
Remember: it is more important in selecting team members
"...to go with passion and commitment rather than an org chart..."
