Threats are sometimes used by Theory X managers that believe they are helping them succeed with those threats. However, that was not the case in this particular case, where threats led to a very low level of trust and self-confidence that ultimately destroyed the team.
In this episode we mention a team assessment checklist by Luis Goncalves based on the book the book: The five Dysfunctions of a Team that can be used by Scrum Masters or by the team for self-assessment. This checklist was based on the book by Patrick Lencioni, The five dysfunctions of a team.
