Building a cohesive team will be the true health of an organization and this is by no means an easy feat! To build a team that sticks together is to create an open communication channel where each of the team members can see through each others shoes. Opening up and understanding each others the blind spots can help bring harmony and while self-exposing vulnerability leads to a great liberation and garners support from co-workers. Bringing in positive & competitive conflict helps in improvising the performance and a creative solution . A buy-in with ownership leads to a greater success for the team as a whole.

To address trust and collaboration issues, start by holding open and honest team discussions to understand concerns. Encourage team-building activities to strengthen relationships. Set clear goals and roles to improve collaboration. Offer regular feedback and support, and model trust and respect in your interactions to lead by example.

Create an environment where team members feel safe to voice concerns, share feedback, and express opinions without fear of judgment or retaliation. This can be achieved through regular one-on-one meetings and open forums.
