Your team is divided on leadership principles. How can you unite them towards a common goal?

Gute Führung hat sehr viel mit Zuh?ren und Vereinen von Meinungen, Gefühlen und Ansichten zu tun. Aber auch damit mal zu akzeptieren, dass eben doch nicht alle Teammitglieder mitgenommen werden k?nnen, wenn diese Ansichten vertreten, die dem Team-Konsens widersprechen. Es ist immer ein Abw?gen und am Ende ein Kompromiss, aber bei guter Führung geht es nicht darum es allen recht zu machen, sondern einen gesunden Kompromiss zwischen Unternehmens- bzw. Team-Zielen und den Ansichten im Team zu finden und das selbstverst?ndlich immer wertsch?tzend gegenüber dem- oder derjenigen, die vielleicht anderer Ansicht war.

Conflict does not always need to be a bad thing. It means they are listening. Just need to avoid clash. Typically, all that is needed is evidence. Most important, appeal to the nobler motive (Human Relations Principle #19). The nobler motive is unquestionably the right thing to do. Even the most resistant will fall in line. Backing it up with evidence from the 4 Perspectives: Executive/Technical/Financial/User demonstrates a well thought out case for direction. Trust, respect, and credibility are the 3 Pillars of Leadership. Listen well.

Listen to understand the root cause of the differences, and notice any reasons for those deeply held beliefs about leadership. For example, it may be that deeply held values, personal experiences (positive or negative), or similar types of beliefs may be impacting different team members leadership views. This will help you understand how to identify points of agreement or areas of overlap in the underlying reasons that may present themselves as disagreements when observed at the surface level only.

To unite a team divided by differing leadership principles, start by understanding each member's perspective through one-on-one conversations. This helps you acknowledge and respect diverse views. Next, establish and communicate a shared vision that aligns with these perspectives. Leverage team strengths to build consensus and maintain momentum through ongoing dialogue. By valuing all viewpoints and guiding the team towards a common goal, you can effectively bridge gaps and foster collaboration.

My favorite question to get to the heart of this quickly is simply to ask, "What do we want to be known for?" People often overlook to opportunity to discuss leaving a team legacy.

La vision est essentielle pour créer un environnement de travail motivant, aligné et collaboratif, où chacun comprend et contribue à la réalisation des objectifs de l'organisation. Un leader doit partager sa vision pour aligner les efforts, motiver l'équipe, renforcer la cohésion et favoriser l'innovation.

To bring a divided team together, start by acknowledging and respecting different views. Encourage open, honest dialogue and find common goals. Collaborate to blend ideas, create a shared vision, and communicate clearly. Lead by example and celebrate each step forward to build unity.

Let them have the tough conversations and include yourself, as well. The level of trust in the team needs to be high enough in order for people to speak out what they truly mean. Create trust by being the role model and addressing things that clearly are there, but nobody dares to talk about it.

Recognizing and capitalizing on each team member's strengths is a vital strategy in maximizing collective success. Assign roles and responsibilities tuned to each individual's talents, showcasing the advantages of diverse leadership styles. This approach not only bolsters personal confidence but also highlights the practical benefits of having a versatile team. Empower your team by valuing and utilizing their unique skills, fostering a dynamic and robust work environment.

En leader j'ai toujours ?uvré au consensus au sein de mon équipe, c'est essentiel de favoriser la communication ouverte, d'écouter activement les points de vue de chacun et de valoriser l'intelligence collective. Cela permet de prendre des décisions éclairées et acceptées par tous, renfor?ant ainsi la cohésion et l'efficacité de l'équipe.

Work to identify, communicate and leverage areas of overlap, agreement and consensus in the values, beliefs and motivations of team members with different leadership principles. This will help the team members to see the areas where they can collaborate and strengthen one another.

Selon moi, pour maintenir l'énergie et l'enthousiasme d'une équipe, un leader doit communiquer ouvertement, reconna?tre les efforts, offrir des opportunités de développement et créer un environnement de travail positif et collaboratif.
