When teams come together over issues, concerns are expressed, advocacy occurs, decisions get made. Everyone present claims to support those decisions. Soon thereafter, those with doubts begin to express their disagreement to others. The “They” versus “We” begins to leak out.

No surprise, the decisions made by the team are undermined by this inconsistent commitment and energy by any given team member.
