Recentemente, ao lidar com uma equipe que parecia preferir o estilo do líder anterior, o primeiro passo foi estabelecer um diálogo aberto. Pedir feedback e valorizar as opini?es dos membros ajudou a entender suas preocupa??es. Gradualmente, foi possível demonstrar como as novas abordagens poderiam beneficiar o grupo, conectando essas mudan?as aos objetivos coletivos. Com o tempo, a resistência come?ou a se transformar em colabora??o.

Navigate resistance by focusing on the following: ? It's Not About You: Shift the focus from personal preferences to the team's collective success. ?? Emotional and Logical Engagement: Help the team reach an emotional and logical place where they “choose you as a leader,” and avoid over-explaining your style. ?? Set Clear Boundaries: Establish expected behaviours to create a respectful environment. ?? Tackle Violations Immediately: Address any breaches of professional boundaries promptly. ?? Listen Attentively: Verbalise your understanding to provide space for team members to share their perspectives. ?? Get this right, and you increase the potential to turn resistant team members into your staunchest allies.

Start by actively listening to team concerns and acknowledging the merits of the past approach. For example, if they valued open communication, emphasize your commitment to transparency and invite feedback. Clearly communicate your vision and how it aligns with team goals, while being open to integrating effective elements from the previous leader. Focus on quick wins, like improving a process they struggled with, to demonstrate the benefits of your leadership. Encourage collaboration by involving team members in decision making and be patient, recognizing that building trust and acceptance takes time. This balanced approach can help unify the team.

Lorsque votre équipe montre un attachement au style de leadership de l’ancien leader, il est crucial d'ancrer votre propre leadership authentique dans la construction de ponts. Voici comment vous pourrez transformer la résistance en coopération : ?? Créer un espace de dialogue. Y montrer le respect que vous avez pour tout ce qui a été accompli avant votre arrivée et sur la diversité des points de vue. ?? Montrer comment les nouvelles stratégies pollinisent ce qui a été fait avant et comment elles visent la réussite de l’équipe. ??L'écoute et le respect sont la base de toute coopération.

I can totally relate to this! When I stepped into a leadership role, I made it a point to blend my vision with what the team valued from the past. Open communication was key in creating a smoother transition.
