• Promote open communication by fostering an atmosphere where team members may freely express their ideas and worries without worrying about criticism or reprisals.
• Show vulnerability in your interactions to set an example for others to follow. Talk about the obstacles you've faced and the steps you've taken to overcome them.
• Engage your team in active feedback gathering and listening. This candour can encourage a culture of ongoing development and provide insightful discoveries.
• Be genuinely concerned about your teammates' emotions and general well-being. Recognize their viewpoints and attend to their needs.
