During the past few weeks, I have had a couple of family members complain of cold symptoms. Running nose, general aches and pains and lethargy. Just doing what they had to “get by”. Not feeling sick enough to be in bed, but not feeling a 100% either, just kind of “blah”. After dragging around for 2 weeks feeling “blah”, I asked them why didn’t they go to the doctor and get some antibiotics? The response? “I don’t know, I guess maybe I should”.
Have you ever worked on a team that was just “blah”, that felt like they might have a “cold”? Not completely failing but not really excelling either, just producing blah-kind-of-work? Then that could be a symptom that your team has a “cold”.
