of trust, communicationissues, misalignment, poorteamwork, backbiting, badattitudes, creates conflict,troublemaking

Blame game. Inside box,need problems. Stay battleready to conquer.

People who formerly were committed, engaged, motivated, looking forward toworking as a team, ..now have problems in many of these areas. And who do

you suppose they think caused those problems? Is it them? Is it others?

need the other guy to keep being a jerk so that Ill remainjustified in blaming him for being a jerk.
