Managers who believe they are more competent than their direct reports are prone to micromanage and disenfranchise their team. This leads to all the elements of team discord, from poor accountability to claims of favoritism to loss of talent. In contrast, a leader who seeks to identify and embrace the strengths of each team member will see team members strive, innovate and work collaboratively. – Candice Gottlieb-Clark, Dynamic Team Solutions

This assures the team that the negative impact they have experienced is seen, understood and won’t be repeated in the future. This earns back trust as you demonstrate to your team that you value them and their ability to be successful. – Candice Gottlieb-Clark, Dynamic Team Solutions

This fosters trust and collaboration and promotes strong teamwork. – Candice Gottlieb-Clark, Dynamic Team Solutions
