Do they know?

Books

There’s someone on the team who isn’t quite pulling in the same direction as everyone else. Maybe it’s something about their work ethic. Maybe they’re working on a different agenda, or their own agenda. Sometimes it feels like they’re on the outside not looking in. It certainly feels like they’re on a different page.

If that’s not a problem – because they’re only nominally part of the team and are actually doing solo work in association – keep on truckin’.

If it is a problem, first thing is to work out … do they know? Do they know what you want from them and how they need to behave?

If they don’t … it’s on you to clarify what it means to be part of the team.

If they do … it’s on you to show the team comes first.

Skippy strategy: Whether they know or not, it’s on you.
