HR Coffee Time 083 | Destructive team dynamics – how to spot them & get things back on track, with Gabriella Braun
Whether you’re working in a tiny organisation or a huge one, you will have to interact with teams. And because people and relationships are complicated, those teams won’t always be working together as well as they could be. This can have a negative impact on the people in that team, other people around them and ultimately on the success of the organisation or business you all work for.
In this episode of HR Coffee Time, Fay Wallis is joined by Gabriella Braun, who shares fascinating insights into groups and teams, explaining three of the unconscious ways teams behave destructively when they’re under pressure.
Gabriella is the author of, “All That We Are” and the Director of Working Well, a specialist consultancy firm using psychoanalytic and systemic thinking to help leaders and teams to understand the hidden truths of their behaviour at work. Listen to the episode or read the transcript on the Bright Sky Career Coaching website to learn all about destructive team dynamics – how to spot them & get things back on track.
