When we must question team work

So a team of people I had just met after I was recently added to whatsApp group were all geared to making an event happen. Bring this.. bring that and so forth. Question was who will bring what??

So the event passed anyway… but I was inwardly furious because the so many promises were not fulfilled. The big realization was not so many people will keep their word. Some will make empty promises to keep up appearances or make a false reputation. (Let me pause for a bit….I hope you have not seen me as one of those. If yes, my earnest apologies)

I used to be the shy type when it came to speaking out my mind. I always respect and value other people’s feelings. That is what some of us would refer to as being sensitive. Let us not pretend.

Someone I know once told me never to be embarrassed to name and shame and that was one big lesson to embrace. These team agendas always come with merits and demerits. The saying goes too many cooks spoil the broth and truly some team work will go wrong with such kind of cooks.

Do not be that kind of person who makes empty promises to your team and in the end de-tooth your team. If you are part of the team and you observe such kind of characters that will surely let your team down, bounce them or if that is not easy, simply confront the issue diplomatically.

If we all add much truth and energy to what we do, the world will definitely be a better place and we shall not silently sit on false promises.  Ponder on these things if you have seen what I see. Where do you fall?
