SOMETIMES IT HURTS
SOMETIMES THEY LINGER ON LIKE GHOSTS

WHEN YOUR TEAMS
CHANGE YOU ARE
NOT “DOING IT
WRONG”
“Bounded and stable
membership is less and
less the norm as teams
become more dynamic and
are frequently overlapping.”
-Wageman, Gardner & Mortensen, 2012
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/job.1775
“More and more people…
are now working on
multiple teams that vary in
duration, have a constantly
shifting membership, and
pursue moving targets. .”
