Social Loafing The tendency for individuals to expend less effort when working collectively than when working individually

Ways to reduce social loafing: 1. Make individual contributions identifiable 2. Make individuals feel they are making a valuable contribution 3. Stay small 4. Evaluate individual and team contributions 5. Have members evaluate each others’ contribution 6. Create interesting/ important task 7. Encourage buy- in - members allowed input into decision - members participate in setting clear goals - members establish clear roles

Building Team Trust 1. Ask for help – show some vulnerability and let others “come through” 2. Chip in – Model Behavior 3. Match jobs with expertise – break jobs into pieces and assign experts

Trust- Busting Traps 1. Micromanaging – avoid excessive control 2. Finding Fault – members may fear inevitable criticism and avoid risk 3. Playing Favorites – apply fair consistent performance standards

Building Team Commitment (Buy-In) Felt ownership – allow planning input and some decision making Perceived Value – ensure task connects to needs and meaningful outcomes Autonomy – provide a feeling of freedom and independence Validity – be sure plan is appropriate and outcomes desirable Reliability – be sure plan is consistent and has long- term results Optimism – provide emotional support and expressed confidence Ability – ensure member abilities (real and perceived) Resources – equip with tools, finances, and time
