"Team" working
« 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:

Manage their expectations by lowering them at every opportunity is the usual practise.
It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.
