합류를 망설이는 12가지 이유, 팀빌딩은 설득이 아니라 해소다
Good people don't join your team because the vision is weak. Team building starts by laying out the 12 obstacles they never tell you about.
Whenever I open a team building workshop I get the same question: "How do I persuade good people?" I answer that the order is wrong. Anyone who needs persuading has already decided not to come.
They will not tell you the reason
People who consider joining and then walk away rarely give the honest reason. It ends with “I have things to finish at my current company.” The real reason usually lies somewhere other than salary or vision.
- I'm not sure this team will still be here in six months
- I can't see where my role ends
- Bringing up equity feels like it will make me the difficult one
- I cannot tell whether the founder sees me as a colleague or as an employee
- No one explains why the people already here are here
In the workshop we turn these 12 items into cards and lay them out on the table. For each card, the team writes down the answer it can give right now. The cards that stay blank are that team's real risk.
It is not finished until you walk out with a deliverable
The workshop ends only once the Team Building Canvas and the 90-day hiring plan are built. To still be there next week, it has to be time spent building your own company’s answer, not time spent listening to a lecture.
Persuasion is about changing the other person; resolution is about changing ourselves. Team building is the latter.
If you need a lecture or workshop on this topic
The format is matched to your institution’s goals and audience, from a 90-minute lecture to a 2-day intensive program. I usually reply within one day.
