Re: Team Productivity Issues

I agree that it is about fear at times. I've found it rather effective to shift the fear rather then disspelling it. Instead of them being afraid to weld, make it so that they are afraid to not weld. I do this through annoyance and persistence. Eventually they will work or they will leave. I don't care which. Now, I know this sounds mean...but there is a reason that most people don't like their boss. It is usually how he became the boss. Just an idea.
