When navigating decision-making in a divided team, I prioritize inclusivity and respect. I start by employing active listening, encouraging each member to share their thoughts while genuinely considering their input. This approach ensures everyone feels valued and heard. Next, I establish a structured debate with clear guidelines, promoting respectful discussions where all viewpoints can be openly shared. If consensus remains elusive, I move to a democratic vote while allowing minority opinions to be documented, ensuring those perspectives are acknowledged. This method balances fairness and inclusivity, fostering a collaborative environment even in tough decisions.

Decisões divididas podem ser um desafio especialmente quando você lidera uma equipe diversa, na minha opinião estabelecer um espaço onde os integrantes da equipe se sintam à vontade para compartilhar opiniões independentemente da hierarquia é fundamental, isso pode ser feito com momentos de escuta ativa e reforço de que cada contribuição tem valor. Dessa forma, promovendo uma escuta genuína, reforçamos a confiança e o engajamento da equipe.

Offene Kommunikation fördern Ermutigung zur Teilnahme Aktive Moderation: Falls einige Mitglieder eher zurückhaltend sind, stelle ich gezielt Fragen Strukturiertes Feedback einholen Brainstorming-Sitzungen, bei denen alle Ideen und Vorschläge gesammelt werden, ohne dass sie sofort bewertet oder kritisiert werden. Anonyme Rückmeldungen Diverse Perspektiven einbeziehen Teammitglieder nach ihren Stärken fragen Rollenspiele oder Perspektivenwechsel Konsensverfahren oder Konsentverfahren nutzen Abstimmungen und Meinungsbilder

To ensure everyone’s voice is heard when your team is divided, create a space for open discussion and ask each person to share their perspective without interruption. Use active listening to validate their views, and summarize key points to show understanding. After everyone has shared, collaboratively identify common goals and areas of agreement to help the team move forward with a decision that reflects diverse input.

In a community pharmacy, team unity is essential for patient care. When decisions divide the team, open communication is the foundation for resolution. Encourage everyone to share their perspectives respectfully, focus on the shared goal of patient well-being, and find common ground. Sometimes, a leader must make the final call, but involving the team in the process fosters trust and collaboration. Strong teams resolve conflicts with understanding and emerge stronger.

Ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard in a decision-making process, especially when there is division within the team, requires a structured and inclusive approach. Creating an open forum for discussion by scheduling a meeting is the first step. Next, clearly discuss the matter and issues. Set expectations around how these issues will be discussed. Define the problem and clarify core challenges. Set clear expectations and goals around what you as a team are trying to accomplish. Create a structure and order regarding participation and encourage healthy debate from everyone willing to speak up. After the matter is settled, review, summarize and put it in writing. Follow up with the team and if issues come up quickly address them.

One thing I have found help full to encourage everyone from the team to participate in the discussion and value their opinions.

Uma equipe é formada por pessoas de estilos e personalidades diferentes. Existem as que vão falar bem em grupo e outras não. Recentemente usei uma estratégia de ouvir individualmente os integrantes da equipes através de um forms (sem identificação) e a pessoa podia falar o que quiser. Depois que todos responderam, compilei as respostas e levei para uma discussão em grupo. Na hora que o grupo estava reunido, as pessoas discutiram as ideias e opiniões que foram colocadas no forms, não havendo julgamento de quem deu a ideia, mas as ideias de fato. Acredito que essa é uma forma de todos terem a oportunidade de suas ideias serem exposta, facilitando a discussão do tema e posteriormente uma melhor decisão por parte do grupo.

Open communication without judgement and active listening has worked for me in times past. People will have varied opinions but if we can speak up about our views, then all members can take note of the pros and cons. Finally, we can take a vote and the simple majority wins because we have agreed based on earlier deliberations.

When my team is divided on a decision, I ensure everyone’s voice is heard by fostering open communication. I encourage each team member to share their perspectives and concerns, creating a space where everyone feels comfortable contributing. By actively listening and remaining emotionally aware, I can better understand their viewpoints and address any misunderstandings. I believe this approach not only helps in finding a balanced solution but also ensures that everyone feels valued and respected, strengthening the team’s unity and collaboration.
