When our team’s divided on a decision for me it’s like i am trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. We have to always guide them to see the bigger picture, listen to all views & focus on the shared goal. If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself. Our MOTO should be to Unite them and watch the pieces fit perfectly.

If your team is divided on a critical decision, you can achieve a harmonious resolution by at first uncovering the reasons of this difference. After you have done this, then through sincere and open dialogue, after exploring most of the views, try to determine if there is room for a unanimous decision on the critical issue at hand. If one appears, then do your best to make this decision acceptable by everyone engaged and demonstrate to all stakeholders its usefulness in relation with the project concerned.
