Sometimes reality differs from our perception

What disappoints us in our teams?

Being late or ignoring appointments

Giving wrong estimates

Whining and complaining all the time

Not sticking to commitments

Not being accountable

Having destructive conflicts

Why do they do that?

Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching?
