Our high performance team is breaking up due to a restructure. Everyone adores each other. I am bringing everyone together for an evening of closure. Is there some sort of activity that you can recommend that would facilitate that?
Toxic Team Member Disrupting Our Team
I’m part of a small team of 6 people that I’ve been a part of since it’s inception. One person on the team always has a negative attitude about the way our manager runs things and I’m afraid he’s causing a rift in our team. Occasionally he makes suggestions of how it could be better, but never acts on those suggestions. There are several underlying factors — he’s working on his MBA and feels like he should be in line for a management position, but the manager and I don’t feel like he’s proven he’s capable of doing well at it. Also, he really admired our previous manager and has never fully accepted our current manager. I get the feeling that he talks negatively to another team member and some other people outside our group about our manager. He also recently tried to use a job offer for much more money to get a raise, which failed. I feel like we facilitate a very open environment, encouraging new ideas and communication. What can we do to get him on board and take action?
