What do you do if your team is struggling to collaborate effectively?
In my experience, if a team is struggling it's likely a communication issue (but not always). As a leader, it's up to us to ensure a safe environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their perspectives and ideas. Dig into the issue, find the root cause, and address it. As the leader, you must create a vision of clear goals and team roles. Then you need to make sure that everyone on the team understands their roles and responsibilities, as well as the goals and objectives of the project or task at hand. Finally, lead by example. Listening is a highly underrated skill, ask for input from all team members, and don't let the few monopolize the conversation. Gather EVERYONE'S input.
