Imagine your sister calls you and starts sharing the difficulty she is having at work with the team she is leading. Many members of her team are experiencing interpersonal conflict with each other and as a result, they are not working well together. She is concerned that she and her team will not accomplish the shared vision they constructed six months ago.

In addition, she expressed to you that it does not seem like her team respects her because they do not act on her recommendations. She stated that she knows she is having trouble engaging her team to work together.

By using strategies to Inspire Trust and collobration, provide advice to your sister to help her increase collaboration amongst her team. Provide specific recommended actions and detail.

For example, if you think your sister should increase her knowledge and information sharing, state the specific method she should use. So, perhaps she should establish weekly meetings in which she provides company related updates and gives team members an opportunity to share their successes and challenges from the last week.
