Team Building — Assumptions

Information on Assumptions

One issue that will always be a source of difficulty in team work is assumptions. Assumptions are things taken for granted, things accepted as true without proof. They operate to influence our thinking, decisions, and actions usually without our being consciously aware of their influence or that the things taken for granted ought to be questioned or revalidated. Making assumptions explicit can and should be part of problem-solving and planning.

Other topics in our resources on Team Building related to Assumptions include: 

High-Performance Team Wheel Alignment Resourcefulness and Possibility

Accountability and Responsibility Decisive Coordinated Action Accomplishment and Celebration

Effectiveness in Breakdowns Mutual Support and Coaching Generating Stands
