Helping Teams Profit
The Games Teams Play…
Often overlooked, ignored or accepted, we all observe behavioral games teams play. Call these team games what you will, but regardless of their name, they are unproductive in nature. They can best be described as the conversation after the conversation, the conversation with the person whom you are not supposed to have the conversation with, ulterior slam dunks, or the conversation avoided all together. You’ve seen it, heard it and may have likely participated in the corporate world’s games teams play and it happens in all sorts of places and in all sorts of ways.
Teams are challenged to interpret the many forms of behavior and communication that are displayed among their peers, EVERYDAY.
Avoid the political games
With multiple projects, different personalities, sometimes opposing agendas and the ever growing demands for business performance, it is little wonder that avoiding the games can become frustrating.

The Corporate Nod – Lets all agree – even if we don’t…
Owning the Credit - Steal someone else’s idea and make an impact
The Corporate Salute – Applaud yourself and point fingers at everyone else!
Indecision Hop-Scotch - Land on the ‘right’ square and you actually can avoid making a decision
Ring-around-the-Rosies – Talking around the issues with polite diplomacy
The behavior is often subtle and the accused is likely to cover his or her tracks. The outcomes of the games are, a majority of the time, not only unproductive, but often hurtful to the business and to people.
