I wish every team faces hard times! I have often heard and read posts about culture and how “we are one team”, “we are a family” etc. But how do you actually find out if that’s the case for you? Everything is anyways going well during the happy moments. There are team dinners & parties & outings. There are cultural celebrations & fun Fridays & secret Santa. And while this is an amazing thing to have, what it does is that it sometimes could give a fake sense of togetherness. The real strength or toughness or togetherness of a team is tested only during hard times. When you are sick but there are urgent deliveries, when important deadlines are nearing and time is short, when there is a production problem and the team is panicking and the client is continuously calling, what do you do in these situations? How does your team react here? Do you stand for each other and take ownership or play blame games? Does the team help each other unload the pressure or get going because their “9 hours” are completed? Answering these questions is really important. What do you think?
