Some of the most eye - opening experiences have occurred when I have been part of groups formed with a stated goal / purpose, only to find that in spite of a professed agreement with the goal / purpose, that one group member is actually pursuing his / her own agenda. It has taken me an embarrassingly long time to catch as these people continue to profess unity with the team's purpose all the while insidiously undermining the entire project.
I alway wonder: are they aware of their own duplicity? Or do they fail to understand how their personal agendas are at odds with team success? Do they understand that their egocentrism is the source of destruction? Or are they so warped that they can't even admit to themselves?
I have never found a way to reach these people. Even when a heart to heart discussion seems to yield mutual understanding, it is short-lived, and within mere hours they have returned to their modus operandi. My only sure fire way of coping with these individuals is to RUN!
