Drama is one of the great interrupters of TEAM. Everybody gets caught up in behaviors that are petty and produce drama. These behaviors detract from our ability to generate TEAM. It is essential, if we want more TEAM, that we identify these behaviors and work to eliminate them as much as possible. Some of the most common behaviors that lead to drama are:
• Gossip
• Win vs. Lose Mentality (or a “winners” and “losers” culture)
• Needing to be “right”
• Side Conversations (rather than “open”, transparent, dialogue)
• Using people as a scapegoat
• Colluding (drawing in and manipulating people to your “side”)
• Playing adaptive roles
• Identifying a “designated patient
In general, we must cut the DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA out of our lives, and become more honest, forthright and trustworthy in relationship with others. DRAMA is one of the major reasons many groups never elevate to TEAM.
