requirements
To understand the different attitudes of members
within a team and to reflect on your team
members’ attitudes.
Keep in tune with your teammates and take action when
necessary. Each team member must be committed. How
would you rank your teammates according to these
definitions?
Review the following curriculum with a group or by
yourself and reflect on the different attitudes of team
members.

4. Commitment1
is the most desired attitude.
When members are fully committed, focus is directed on the finer
details that lead to consistent success.

5. Enrollment2
is acceptable, but implies that while members are 99% “with” the
program, they hold back a full level of commitment.
It’s a leader’s responsibility to uncover what that 1% is for each team
member.

6. Compliance3
is unacceptable.
While helpful to the team, they eventually prevent it from reaching its
full potential due to a lack of sacrifice and buy-in.
Compliant individuals must be led to enrollment status, or they’ll fall to
the pressures of negative influence and only what is asked.

7. Grudging compliance4
is unacceptable.
Teammates rarely do what is asked of them, and spread negativity.
They never speak positively in public creating rumors and cliques
instead. They may be difficult to identify because they show one side
in public, and a different one in private.

8. Non-compliance5
is unacceptable.
These teammates never support team goals.
Strong leadership makes it difficult for non-compliant individuals to
feel welcome.

9. Apathy6
is unacceptable.
Apathetic people don’t care about anything, their team membership
should be questioned, and should be removed because they’ll never
add value.
Removing team members may be an option for some, but difficult for
others. Truly great leaders can transform people who were once
apathetic and turn them into fully committed team members.
