When teammates raise a white flag
研究发现，管理者在参与决策团队时，超过一半的情况下会私下放弃努力、举起白旗。本文探讨了这种现象的原因，并提出了减少努力保留的团队管理方法。
Executive Overview It has been said that over half the decisions reached by teams never get carried out and of the rest only half should have been. Whether or not this old saw is accurate is not the point. Managers today are more than a little cynical when it comes to their participation in decision-making teams. While many feel compelled to sit through endless meetings, they frequently surrender—at least privately—withholding any real effort. And, by their own account, they “raise a white flag” in over half the teams in which they participate. In this article, we will explore why this happens, and offer ways to manage teams that will minimize the withholding of effort.
