Peter Scholtes identified ten behaviours (have you noticed ho it's always ten, never nine or eleven?) which commonly create problems in teams. Which are the three out of the four shown, which are genuine Scholte terms to describe these undesirable behaviours?

AFeuding

BPlops

CJousting

DWanderlust

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B, D

The three terms which Scholtes actually used are feuding, plops and wanderlust. Jousting is entirely made-up for this test.

Feuds are arguments based on personality or background.

Plops are ideas expressed by a team member, and ignored by everyone else. They just plop and are ignored.

Wanderlust is when the team or elements of it go off at a tangent, discussing irrelevant issues.
