El primer paso es escuchar todas las opiniones para comprender las preocupaciones y puntos de vista de cada miembro. Esto no solo crea un ambiente de respeto, sino que también permite identificar inquietudes clave. A continuación, presenta datos y análisis claros para que la discusión se base en hechos y no en percepciones o emociones. Expón el impacto potencial del riesgo y la recompensa, lo que ayuda a clarificar el panorama. Enfoca la discusión hacia los objetivos comunes. Reenfocar la conversación hacia lo que el equipo quiere lograr colectivamente puede unir a todos bajo una visión compartida. Esto permite que el equipo evalúe si el riesgo es necesario para alcanzar el éxito deseado.

I would start by facilitating an open discussion with the team, and present the data that is driving the high risk high reward strategy. Lead with empathy and make the discussion collaborative, hearing everyone’s ideas and addressing their concerns. The goal is to end up with a plan where everyone is trusts the path forward. I have found that “big bets” lead to the greatest impact and high scale change. I think it is important to do this at an individual, team, and company level. However, make sure that while you are making big bets, you are still delivering results regardless on if the big bet is successful.

Leading a divided team to a unanimous decision on a high-risk, high-reward strategy involves facilitating open dialogue and thorough analysis. Start by clearly outlining the potential risks and rewards, ensuring that all team members understand the implications. Encourage each member to voice their concerns and opinions, creating an environment of trust where everyone feels heard. Use data and case studies to support the discussion, helping the team weigh the potential outcomes objectively.

In high-risk, high-reward situations, I often conduct Proof-of-Concept (PoC) initiatives to gather data and insights. This approach not only clarifies potential outcomes but also engages the team in the process. I would encourage open discussions around the PoC findings, ensuring that everyone’s perspectives are valued. By collaboratively assessing both the risks and rewards, we can make a more informed decision that aligns with our collective vision, ultimately leading us to a unanimous agreement.
