The Team Trap

The Team Trap is set when the leaders are expected to solve all of the team's problems. When the team doesn't see their issues and the leader is prevented from locating the center of the truth about the team's problems, a broken team often waits for the leader to fail, ejects them, and repeats the cycle with the next leader.
