Growing Your Team

Let me share some ​tips on how to properly manage and leverage team conflict and power dynamics. That all starts with building and growing your team. The first thing you must do is establish unity. Everyone must be on board and share responsibility for the goals of the team. They’ve got to throw “I” out of the window and recognize the team is about “we” and “us.” Then, as the leader, you must establish the roles and responsibilities of the team and team members. Have a contingency plan in case a team member is sick, injured, on medical leave, has an emergency, etc. Who can step in? Perhaps one of the most critical parts of building and growing a team is communication. How will the team communicate? How often? What is the time zone for communicating if team members are working remotely and in a different time zone? How will the team meet? How often will the team meet and for how long? Why is there a team in the first place? Share the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the team. Click here for more.
