Přístup, který nahlíží na tým jako na celek složený z jednotlivců a kde úspěch celého týmu
závisí na tom, jak jsou členové týmu oddaní plnění svých úkolů, se začíná měnit, protože
výkonná spolupráce vyplývá z kombinace individuálních a společných kompetencí.
The approach which views the team as a whole made up of individuals (and) where the
success of the team relies/depends on how the team members are committed to
accomplishing/carrying out their tasks, is beginning to change as the effective team
working emerges/results from a combination of individual and collective competencies
Mnoho řídících pracovníků považuje schůze za ztrátu času a netěší se na ně, protože program
jednání není často dobře promyšlen, rozhodovacímu procesu dominují silné osobnosti,
vedoucí týmů neposkytují požadované zdroje a a způsob, jak zadávají cíle a přidělují úkoly, není
zcela jasný.
Many top executives regard/consider meetings (as) a waste of time and don’t look
forward to them because/as the agenda is often not thought through, decision-making
process is dominated by strong personalities, team leaders do not provide the required
resources and the way they set goal and assign tasks is not quite clear.
