The growth of a company does not only depend on the capital investment made in it since it is not just a static gap that requires money to function but also involves the work of people who make their contribution every day to meet objectives and achieve goals in both, the short and long term. But for this, the participation of a leader is also required to guide the actions and keep the team motivated to avoid stagnation in the organization. We are going to know 5 factors that prevent work teams and, therefore, businesses from growing.

Bad communication
A leader must not only speak and speak, but must adequately transmit his ideas, plans, strategies, and so on. It should be a time when issuing the communications, emails and information orally, either individually or in groups. Likewise, you must make sure that your work team has correctly understood what you wanted to express so that the actions can be carried out correctly. If communication fails, it can cause failures in the planned tasks and take different directions from those initially thought, and not precisely because of ignorance of it, but because what was planned was not properly understood.
Lack of clarity
Following the order of ideas of the previous point, just as there must be clarity when transmitting the information, there must also be transparency regarding the expectations, the goals they want to achieve and the expected way of doing it. The leader must take on the task of making his team see the strategic horizon of the organization and that each member is expected to achieve these goals.
Inconsistency between words and actions
An important point is a consistency. A leader must take his words with his actions, fulfil what he has promised his team, follow the procedures he has established, notify changes in time and follow the organization’s work philosophies, focused on the values and policies of the company.
Failing to give workers confidence
For many procedures and classified information that a company manages, it is necessary for employees to feel that the departments are involved with each other and not that they work as “bubbles”, where they cannot trust the same colleagues to generate plans and strategies, as well as in their own supervisors because they are not clear on the strategies to follow or the objectives to be achieved.
Do not take advantage of meetings
The meetings between the work teams should be the time to establish strategies, define parameters, do plans, make brainstorms and discuss the best way to achieve the objectives so that both the company and the employees are favored. This is the opportunity for leaders to listen to their team, interact directly, take an interest in the opinion of the workers, know their doubts, concerns and fears; in order to clarify any situation that may be affecting the team or the organization, in general, that may affect individual performance.
