Have you had to deal with an employee who tries and sabotages all your efforts? And no matter what you say, this employee will always find a way to undermine you? Some people on your team might find your decisions as a manager or business owner inconvenient for them. But this is no excuse for anyone to show a lack of commitment and support for your goals. When you suspect team sabotage is happening, that needs addressing now.
What can you do?
Imagine having a member of your team who just doesn’t want to perform as they are expected because they did not like one of your decision. Instead of coming to you and talk about their disdain, they will show you a bad working behaviour. Employees like this will make it impossible to run a growing business. A team sabotage, if not dealt with accordingly will surely ruin your chances of growing your business.
Team sabotage can also be costly when you’re starting out. It can destroy your business reputation, create team politics and make you less profitable.
