Despite best intentions, organizations and teams of all shapes and sizes often suffer from projects that are mismanaged, teams that are ineffective, and sub-par collaboration…which leads to uninspired products, unhappy customers, and a negative impact on the bottom line. These challenges are often symptoms of two bigger issues issues: Lack of clarity and alignment around (1) what the group values and (2) how to practice those values together. This means that culture is the real culprit of many team and organizational challenges.
