How to help your team start a project with a shared project outcome

March 14, 2012 by TrakSearch

Whether you’re leading a team of two or two thousand people, any initiative, project, or organisational change usually includes the need to, upfront, get your team on board with the shared goal, vision or project outcome.

The usual advice is to consult with your team and constituent groups at the outset, listen to them, then listen some more, then consult……..with a collaborative approach combined with some strategic steering to try and obtain agreement on the end result or ‘big picture’.

However despite this regularly repeated advice, team members regularly complain that their leader has pushed her/his own agenda, dominated the discussion and didn’t REALLY listen to other voices.

The article by Jennifer Miller titled ‘help your team create a vision’ provides some practical advice and specific questions to ask your team to put you on the right track.
