There is one in every work team.  You know, the “loner,” the “fifth wheel,” the one who “rains on everyone’s parade.”

These “Lone Rangers” will not only be a pain-in-the-posterior, they can actually sabotage (which often is the goal) your team’s best work.  There is no need to just “put up with” these team members; you can motivate them to take off their masks and ride with everyone else.

Skills Presented:  (1) How to identify Lone Rangers from behavioral and attitudinal characteristics, (2) How to assertively confront the silent saboteur on your team, (3) How to use a visual paradigm to redirect the openly obstructionist in a team meeting, (4) How to get the Lone Ranger to ride with you through the practice of empowerment, (5) How to verbally and emotionally confront the ten common techniques of the Lone Ranger, and (6) How to create “working assumptions” on your team that will make any Lone Ranger uncomfortable in the future.
