You're in a team facing conflicting task priorities. How do you ensure everyone stays on track for success?

Prioritizing tasks is crucial for effective teamwork. By using a prioritization matrix, you can ensure that your team's efforts are aligned with the most important goals and deadlines.

I usually list all the tasks I must do and then start organizing from the most important to the least. I like organizing my weekly schedule, and then my daily schedule. It's important to have this priority sense because it's really helpful when we need to be faster or some problem appears suddenly.

Delegate tasks it's an important skill we must have. First of all, doing this we encourage our team to go foward and learn/develop faster, and second we can focus in other tasks that we can't delegate. In my experience, sometimes is difficult to delegate because we know that we are doing great some tasks, but its necessary, and doing that I could realize the team developing better.

A refusal to delegate to capable people removes the trust of your subordinates and labels you as a micromanager. It also removes any possibility to encourage and enrich them to rise up and improve their skills. Failing to delegate is a failure to lead.

As I always say, communication for me is the key of success. When you are clear and objective about anything, you're avoiding disagreements and going for a faster resolution to your problem.

For me the important thing isn't who commited a mistake, but how WE can do better and avoid committing the same mistake again. That's the environment that I created with my team and it has been a great experience ever since.

In the right environment, when you feel you're being listened to and you can safely talk your ideas, this kind of things can cause some stress but much smaller than expected. That's why people know that together we'll find the best solution and faster we'll be able to change the priorities.
