Here's how you can foster and sustain strong relationships with your team members.

When you hear 'Lunch-Hour Fight Club' a healthy dialogue might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, when has the path of least resistance brought forth the most impactful results? Before launching the Lunch-Hour Fight Club in Q3 of 2013, our team was experiencing a multitude of miscommunications which led to avoidable office drama. We knew things had to change when the CMO passed a sticky note under the conference table calling the new intern a top-of-funnel dork. I've no clue what that means. Since the launch of Lunch-Hour Fight Club, people have been encouraged to open up candid lines of communication and hash it out at lunch. Punches are thrown and tears are shed yet real bonds are built in these lunch-hour duels.

Talk with others openly and share valuable information. Appreciate them for their good work and support in difficult tasks. Be honest and consistent in your actions, so your team knows they can rely on you. These things will surely make your relationship strong.

Les échanges doivent être fait en confiance et le manager doit encourager les uns et les autres à s'exprimer sur tous les sujets. Reconnaître le droit à l'erreur permet à chacun de s'épanouir dans son environnement. L'équipe se sent alors en confiance et on peut alors créer et trouver des solutions. Une écoute active lors des entretiens individuelles, la reformulation. Ne pas oublier que nous restons humains et que nos vies personnelles et professionnelles s'impactent mutuellement.

Fostering and sustaining strong relationships with team members begins with promoting open dialogues. Encourage team members to share ideas and concerns freely, fostering trust and demonstrating the value of their input. Regular team meetings and one-on-one sessions provide platforms for these exchanges. Active listening and empathy are crucial; give full attention to team members and respect their perspectives.

Remember that the people you were with are people with lives outside of work. It's so easy to forget and expect perfection, but you'll build stronger relationships by prioritizing the person, not the job responsibilities.

Acknowledge the diverse skill sets and contributions of each member, showing appreciation for their hard work and achievements through verbal praise or recognition programs. This boosts morale and reinforces their value to the team. Avoid playing favorites and treat everyone with equal consideration to foster a culture of respect. This encourages team members to reciprocate and maintain positive working relationships with you and their peers.

Clearly define objectives and ensure everyone understands their role in achieving them. This fosters camaraderie and interdependence, as each person's success contributes to the team's progress. Celebrate milestones together to reinforce unity and motivation. Shared goals provide direction and a reason for team members to collaborate effectively.

Be approachable and available to assist with challenges, offering resources and training for professional growth. Focus on solutions rather than blame when mistakes occur. Encourage collaboration and peer support, as team members often learn best from each other. A nurturing atmosphere helps individuals thrive and strengthens the team as a whole.

Consider implementing regular team-building activities or outings to strengthen bonds and foster a sense of camaraderie outside of work tasks. These activities can range from casual gatherings to more structured team-building exercises, depending on your team's preferences and interests. Additionally, create opportunities for feedback and continuous improvement by soliciting input from team members on how to enhance team dynamics and collaboration. By prioritizing professional development and team cohesion, you can cultivate a positive and productive work environment where team members feel supported and valued.
