Robert Galford's guide to identifying and preventing organizational behaviors that undermine team effectiveness
This essential book by Robert M. Galford, Bob Frisch, and Cary Greene reveals how seemingly innocent workplace behaviors can systematically undermine organizational effectiveness and team performance. Drawing from extensive research and real-world examples, the authors provide engineering leaders with frameworks to identify "simple sabotage" patterns that create dysfunction, reduce productivity, and damage team morale. Leaders will learn practical strategies for recognizing subtle destructive behaviors, addressing them constructively, and building organizational resilience against both intentional and unintentional sabotage.
