Do you ever feel as though your team members are working against you, rather than with you? You start to wonder if they have a different end point in mind as it feels like you’re pulling in different directions. This is normally a pretty good signal that the team is missing a shared agenda.

Part of you knows that if you ignore this, it will come back to haunt you; whilst another is telling you “they know best. And after all, you are just starting to build your relationship with them and a confrontation now will only hinder things”. Sound familiar? Resources Navigation
