Common Growing Pains for Teams

There will come a point in your team’s journey where you recognize that what got you to the current level of success will not get you to the next level of success or growth that you desire.

In order to ‘level up’, you’ll need to take a long, hard look at the habits, behaviors and mindsets that your team has developed, and determine which ones are blocking you from achieving the next level of growth.

The longer you delay or put off that process, the more growing pains you are likely to feel.

Here are some of the most common growing pains I’ve seen my own teams and my clients’ teams experience on their journeys to growth and change.

 

Common Team Growing Pains

  • Lacking a clear vision of where the team is headed or what success looks like

  • Too focused on ‘the way we’ve always done it’

  • Difficulty shifting from leader-driven to team-driven

  • Team members’ responsibilities are undefined

  • Difficulty showing or measuring what the team accomplished, how much progress they’ve made or how close they came to the goal

  • Unable to turn long-term strategy into an actionable plan

  • Team members are more order-takers than decision makers
