Revised Post: Why Raid Teams Fail

Why Raid Teams Fail

Raid teams, like any group of individuals working together in a part of a business organization or sports team, are prone to succumb to dysfunction.

Fairly clunky. How about: “Raid teams, like any group of individuals working together as part of a business organization or sports team, can be prone to dysfunction.” You could use succumb there if you like but both sounds redundant.

Offer / accept

No spaces. The spacing is off on a few other “/” bits, check em out.

“looks like”

Remove close parenthesis.

save the chit-chat to trash clears

Change “to” to “for”.

Start repairing your raid team by building the foundation of trust, encourage conflict, drive commitment, enforce players to be accountable, and ultimately, drive the quality of what they do onward and upward.

Tense is off. You start out with -ing and then switch: “Start repairing your raid team by building the foundation of trust, encouraging conflict, driving commitment, enforcing players to be accountable and ultimately driving the quality of what they do onward and upward.”

Fixed all of these.
