- Create a shared vision. Dr. Winters suggests making team-based decisions focusing on the whole, not just those in charge.
- Discover blind spots within your team. Leaders should work to address misinformation and rumors within their team.
- Consider factors other leaders might miss. Dr. Winters recommends leaders remain conscious of their team’s fears and worries in order to address them quickly.
- Identify burnout. Addressing burnout is essential for leaders to avoid professional and personal costs, including lower productivity and high turnover rates.
