    About this ebook

    Working together has always been a challenge, especially when it involves people who struggle to work on a team. With the way we approach work beginning to change, working together effectively is more important than ever before — and more difficult to achieve. How can we build strong teams in this new age and bring everyone to an equal standard of contribution?
    In Problem-solving in Teams, an audio course from Scribd Coach, workplace expert and Shift Management CEO Marie Gervais addresses some of the challenges of teamwork, particularly with team members who struggle to follow procedure. In the course, she helps listeners shed assumptions about teamwork and leadership; explores systems in place as a potential culprit for procedure not being followed; provides a checklist for approaching a problem when it’s caused by an employee; and how to handle stress affecting team members. She also shares exercises along the way to help you put what you’ve learned into practice.
    If you’re trying to step up your leadership and teamwork game, you’ve come to the right place. Gervais’s expertise and critical experience can help you lead teams like never before.

      Introduction

      Hello everyone! My name is Marie Gervais, and thanks for joining us today for Problem-solving in Teams: Strategies for Working Together Effectively, a course from Scribd Coach.

      In this program, we’re going to learn how to address some of the challenges of teamwork. Specifically, we’re going to take a closer look at strategies for dealing with team members who, for a variety of possible reasons, don’t seem willing or able to follow procedures as they should. We’re also going to learn about some strategies that will help.

      This topic is particularly relevant as we continue to navigate our way through a new world. In some cases, the changes brought about by recent historical developments, including employees that are now working full time or part-time from home, have added an extra layer of complexity to this challenge. I hope that you’re ready to ask the tough questions, so let’s begin!

      It’s a scenario many of us have experienced before...You’re having trouble with an employee who’s failing to properly execute one procedure or another. The employee seems to know what to do — and you have every reason to expect they must. You have communicated the procedure, you’ve explained the steps in detail, and the employee seems to have
