Social Sciences - Management / Team building
English term or phrase: back channel sniping
In diesem Text geht es um das "The Dysfunctions Model" von Lencioni und die Bildung/das Management von Teams in Unternehmen.

Kontext:

Dysfunction #2: Fear of Conflict
Trust is critical because without it, teams are unlikely to engage in unfiltered, passionate debate about key issues. This creates two problems. First, stifling conflict actually increases the likelihood of destructive, back channel sniping. Second, it leads to sub-optimal decision-making because the team is not benefiting from the true ideas and perspectives of its members.

Fällt jemandem etwas Treffendes zu diesem Ausdruck ein? Mir ist bisher nur so etwas wie "Gerede hinter dem Rücken" eingefallen, bin mir aber auch nicht sicher, ob es das so genau trifft. Bin für jede Hilfe dankbar.

Intrigen
Explanation:
wäre m.E. der kürzeste Ausdruck, der alles impliziert: sowohl *destructive* als auch *back-channel* als auch *sniping*.

Das umfasst "Attacken aus dem Hinterhalt" - zumeist vor dem Hintergrund "interner Machtkämpfe" und versteckten Mobbings.
