Prioritising psychological safety

Why are teams and group dynamics at times complex?

At times achieving a common goal together in a dental practice can seem such a struggle, both mentally and physically. Teams can also be complex due to the varied personalities and behaviours that are within them, there are always going to be differences in the way we think, feel and behave to those with whom we work, therefore it is unlikely we would ever work with a group of people who think exactly the same as we do. We are all aware there are introverts and extroverts in a team, however, certain personalities and behaviours that we see from team members can at times be judged ‘unfairly’ before we really take the time to get to know or understand the person.
