- Building a team for a creative task in a situation where one person would do fine.
- Expecting absence of flames and philosophical discussions for teams who haven’t been working together, on the same kind of tasks, day to day, for more than a year.
- Critisizing work of the other team members in the way so that it can be taken personally.
- Not critisizing work of other team members just because of interpersonal relationships.
- Inability to question decisions of a boss however wrong they subjectively seem to be.
- Inability to discuss topics with a boss without being overly aggressive just because he has the final say.
- Involving a decision maker into each and every team-internal communication.
- As a decision maker, declaring work finished without asking permission of other team members (it is only possible to cancel or prematurely stop the work by decision, not to finish it).
- Giving feedback to each and every small detail; being always opionated; not providing enough free room for others.
- Overriding decisions of others / throwing work of others away without an explanation.
And I’m guilty of at least 6 of those…
