She knows about your contributions to the team regardless team outcomes. I think that to "cover your ass" about any decision you don't agree with is pretty toxic for a team. It leads to unhealthy competition inside the team, it favors the blame game (which is ALWAYS counterproductive) and it negatively affects the team as group. Not to mention then someone will feel "safer" to always disagree. Of course I can't generalise but this is I saw in healthy teams (and companies) I've been lucky to work with. | |

And if this performance review is bad, you will get fired, not your team. It's only fair to assess people on their performance, i.e. have the responsibilities clear. This doesn't mean people shouldn't cooperate. Brainstorming can deliver good results of course. But research shows these results are normally worse than results of individual work. This is linked to accountability. If someone is responsible for sth, they do their best. If everybody is responsible for sth, people don't care so much and contribute less. | |
| Jul 29, 2018 at 13:25 | comment | added | Adriano Repetti | I mostly agree but with two notable exceptions. Accountability: you fail and succeed as team, not as individual. Brainstorming: it has been proved (for me, at least) extremely effective if well done, with the right persons and with adequate personal preparation. | |
