Not on the same page as your team? Not to worry. Follow these simple steps to start aligning.
Understand: first things first, get a clear picture of what’s going on. If you are frustrated, find the source by talking with others involved in the issue. Learn where tensions are arising.
Make changes: now that you have a better understanding, try some stuff out. Attempt to modify the situation to root out the issue.
Examine impact: now that you’ve tried a few things, look at what happened. Communicate more. Explore together wheather what you’ve tried has worked.
Now that you have built understanding, made some changes, and examined impact, you have developed a team muscle for problem-solving. Repeat the process for best results.
By working through the steps above, your team can come to solve problems in a joint fashion. This will help you develop a shared narrative and a language to address the hard stuff.
