Title: "Team" working
Post by: Nick on April 10, 2014, 12:30:26 PM
Does anyone find this works or is it a matter of constantly reassuring people and resolving playground style disputes?

I am managing two teams at present and both are composed of intelligent adults who behave like 6 year olds. evil: evil:
