Troubled units: creating change.

Your unit may be in trouble. Are conversations among team members authentic or do real conversations happen in the hallways after the meeting? Are staff afraid of voicing their disagreements for fear of being labeled, while other team members complacently agree to a consensus, then go off and work from their own agenda? Some units have fallen into the habit of disrespectful communication and uncaring behaviors toward team members. The impact this has on staff, units, and organizations can be deleterious.
