How can you address passive-aggressive behavior within your team to improve overall productivity?
Passive-aggressive behavior within a team can be a silent productivity killer, but it's not always easy to spot. It manifests as indirect resistance to the demands of others and an avoidance of direct confrontation, typically because individuals feel unable to express their frustrations openly. This behavior can lead to a lack of trust and poor communication, which are detrimental to teamwork and productivity. Addressing this issue requires a nuanced approach that fosters a supportive environment where open communication is encouraged and conflicts can be resolved constructively.
