teamwork Flashcards
You’re part of a medical team, and one of your colleagues is not pulling their weight. How would you address this situation?
Non-confrontational Approach: “I would first try to understand why my colleague isn’t contributing as expected. There could be personal or professional reasons affecting their performance, so I would approach them in a supportive and non-judgmental way.”
Open Dialogue: “I might say something like, ‘I’ve noticed you seem a bit overwhelmed lately—can I help with anything or would you like to discuss the workload?’ This way, I can address the issue without making them feel attacked.”
Team Discussion if Necessary: “If the problem persists, I would consider discussing it with the team or supervisor, but I would focus on the needs of the patient and team rather than singling anyone out.”
Commitment to Teamwork: “Ultimately, I believe in fostering a supportive team environment where everyone can contribute and work together for the benefit of our patients.”
