This person believes that everything must be a team effort. Everything. Don’t get me wrong—I think teams are great. But as with anything else, they’re great at the appropriate time. Not every activity or decision will be best handled by a team. Sometimes a simple decision can get hopelessly bogged down because the entire team had to examine it at length instead of just one or two knowledgeable people.

The Diplomat

Diplomacy is good, but not when it’s used as a thinly veiled way to get out of making decisions. The manager who insists on studying and investigating every project forgets that the competition may be moving faster and gaining speed (and customers).

The Nerd

They may be brilliant and knowledgeable—but often nobody understands what they’re talking about! We have all seem them. Everywhere. The problem with nerds is that people don’t bother trying to understand them, even when they should be trying to—which is a loss for everyone.
