You need your team to agree on a new strategy. You have strong opinions about the best way to go, but you need everyone’s commitment to make the strategy work, so you want to make sure that the team “buys in”. But when you and your team are solving a problem together, a number of team members stop sharing different views after you have shared yours. To address this problem, which of these do you do?

Choose one

• Assure the team that you value their ideas: the team’s strength comes from its diverse views.
• Ask for team members’ views first and share your views last.
• Offer to leave the room sensing some people aren’t speaking their minds.
• Tell what you’ve noticed and why you’re raising the topic, and ask them what is leading them not to share their different views.
• Talk one-on-one to a team member that you trust and ask what’s going on.
