There is an element of style difference that can contribute to ineffective teams as well. You name a bunch of great examples. My favorite is the divide between people that integrate their work with their social lives and those that erect barriers between them. These two often have a hard time understanding each other. Nader,

Unfortunately it is not a matter of personal trust, as a team member threatening your position. Rather, it is a matter of emotional and attitude differences between teammates. One member is very enthusiastic while the other is disappointed. One is very cool, while the other is hot and boiling. The problem revolves around the management and the leadership of the team to define distinct rules with enough responsibilities to keep every one busy doing the best he can where he is assigned.
