How do you challenge your team members?
We may challenge them but not say why we’re sure they can do it. Instead, consider the idea that if you see something praiseworthy, innovative, or potential-enhancing from your team members, call it out. Push people out of complacency. There’s a natural tendency for us to gravitate toward what we’re good at doing.
What happens if you ignore a team member’s concerns?
Ignoring a team member’s concerns not only leads to more problems, but also sets a dangerous precedence. The other team members will be keenly watching and if you don’t handle the situation competently, they will keep their ideas to themselves in future. In short, you will have killed the project inadvertently.
How do you deal with bad ideas on the team?
If a team member suggests an idea that obviously will not work or is even irrelevant, don’t put them down, especially in front of others. If they have a great idea in the future, they may hesitate or refuse to share for fear of being mocked. Foster an environment where there are no bad ideas.
How can I encourage my team to submit ideas?
Assert that no ideas are dumb and that you welcome all ideas. Let your team submit ideas via email or one on one. Discuss submitted ideas anonymously in team meetings so everyone can hear about them and let people choose the idea that they like the best.
