When project priorities clash within your team, it can feel like navigating a ship through stormy seas. As a project leader, your role is to align everyone towards a common goal, but how do you do that when opinions and priorities diverge?

It's about harnessing the diversity of thought and turning potential conflict into a cohesive, strategic direction.

1 Understand Concerns

To align your team, start by listening. Gather everyone's input on what they believe the priorities should be and why. This not only helps in understanding the various perspectives but also makes team members feel valued and heard. Often, conflict arises from a lack of understanding or miscommunication. By taking the time to delve into each concern, you can identify common ground and areas of compromise. Remember, your goal is to create a unified vision, not to win an argument.

2 Set Clear Goals

Once you've listened to your team's concerns, it's time to define clear, achievable goals. These should be based on the project's overall objectives and the input you've received. Clear goals provide a roadmap for the team to follow and help in prioritizing tasks. Ensure that these goals are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This clarity will help minimize confusion and align your team's efforts towards the project's success.

Lack of clarity may the root cause of the fragmentation. Re-establish the project goals and clearly define team members roles and responsibilities.

3 Facilitate Dialogue

Open dialogue is key in resolving differences over project priorities. Organize a meeting where all team members can discuss their viewpoints in a structured manner. As the leader, facilitate this conversation by ensuring everyone has a chance to speak and by steering the discussion towards constructive solutions. Encourage your team to focus on the project's success rather than individual preferences or egos. This collaborative approach can lead to innovative solutions that might not have surfaced in a more confrontational atmosphere.

4 Prioritize Objectively

With all the information and ideas at hand, it's time to prioritize tasks objectively. Consider which activities will have the greatest impact on achieving the project goals and which are most urgent. This might involve making tough decisions and compromises, but it's essential for project success. Encourage your team to view these decisions through the lens of what's best for the project, rather than personal interests. This objective approach will help align everyone's efforts and keep the project on track.

5 Empower Team Members

Empowering your team members by assigning them roles that align with the agreed-upon priorities can greatly enhance their commitment to the project. Ensure that each member understands their responsibilities and how their work contributes to the project's goals. Empowerment also means trusting your team to make decisions within their areas of responsibility, which fosters a sense of ownership and can lead to increased motivation and productivity.

6 Review Progress

Finally, regularly review the progress of the project with your team. This doesn't just mean tracking milestones, but also assessing whether the priorities are still valid or need adjusting. The business environment is dynamic, and being flexible enough to shift focus when necessary is crucial. Regular progress reviews keep everyone on the same page and can help maintain alignment as the project evolves.

How do you avoid getting drained after having done everything like a superhero for your team? How and when do you draw a line to make sure you receive ( or give yourself) just as much support as you give? Are the people that you are supporting different from those that you can expect support from?
