Recent conversations with senior leaders have reinforced to me what most of us intuitively know.

That many of the most persistent hurdles to team development originate from within the teams themselves.

Here are seven that you may have encountered that stop teams reaching for the stars:

1. Complacency: "Our current level of success is good enough." 😴

2. Lack of time: "We're too busy with other more important things." ⏰

3. Resistance to change: "We like things as they are." 🛡️

4. Overconfidence: "What do you mean we need to get better?!" 🤨

5. Personality clashes: "We'll never reach consensus on this." 😠

6. Lack of external perspective: "We can't imagine how things could be different." 💫

7. Insufficient resources: "We don't have the budget, people, or know-how to improve." 💰

Reflecting on the best team you've ever worked in, what lessons can you apply to your current team to transform them for the better?
