If you feel like you are a member or a leader of a team that’s been on a downward spiral for a while and you want to fix that quickly, here are  a few steps you can try:
— Identify the Root Cause
The first thing you need to do is identify what went wrong. Usually, this can be the lack of a clear goal, lack of communication, or lack of accountability.
— Look Outside the Team
One mistake many people make when trying to fix a broken team is focusing all their energy on the team. Often, a team isn’t productive because of company structure, old systems, or ineffective policies that don’t align with the team’s work or processes. Be humble enough to question the processes instead.
— Create an Action Plan and Accountability Check
Make sure to incorporate a call to action into your meeting agenda. This allows everyone to know their roles. Also, ensure people account for their actions and inactions fairly. This will help individuals take responsibility and stay motivated.
