Para lidar com um membro da equipe que não responde, começo criando um espaço seguro para diálogo, abordando a situação de forma empática. Busco entender as causas por trás do comportamento, seja por falta de clareza, desafios pessoais ou insegurança. Reforço a importância do papel deles para o sucesso da equipe, estabelecendo metas claras e oferecendo suporte constante. A confiança é construída com paciência e ações consistentes.

- Approach them privately with a non-confrontational tone. Ask, “Is everything okay? I’ve noticed you’ve been less responsive lately.” This shows concern rather than criticism. - Clearly explain the impact of their unresponsiveness - Establish clear communication norms, like response times or regular check-ins, and hold them accountable. Offer flexibility where possible to meet their needs. Defensive barriers often stem from underlying issues—stress, misalignment, or disengagement. Address the cause while reinforcing the importance of collaboration.

Breaking through defensive barriers involves building trust and understanding their perspective. Approach them privately with empathy, asking open-ended questions to explore the root cause of their unresponsiveness. Offer support, set clear expectations, and collaborate on actionable steps to re-engage them.

As you all very correctly expressed. The defensive behaviour often stems from a lack of trust, fear of criticism, or feeling overwhelmed, which requires a more interpersonal approach. I would start by Building Trust: Create a safe, judgment-free space for dialogue. Use empathetic language to show understanding and support. Active Listening: Allow the individual to share his/her perspective without interruption. Avoid jumping to conclusions or assigning blame. Clarifying Intentions: Assure the team member that the goal is to help them succeed, not criticise or penalise. Gradual Engagement: Start with small, manageable tasks to rebuild their confidence and trust in the process. To conclude, productive open-ended communication is the key.

A balanced approach that builds trust and encourages collaboration. 1.Approach Privately and Respectfully 2.Clarify Expectations and Impact 3.Listen Actively 4. Offer Support and Resources 5. Set Boundaries with Accountability 6. Model Open Communication

Its a tough deal bro and needs unbreakable patience and strategy. An ice break session is required. Knowing and understanding each member's vision separately is very important. Talking to them is the first step. Generating questions that needs solutions but to offer other team members to find solution is the trick.
