How To Take Action
I would suggest treating team members like someone who inspires you and who you want to keep a positive relationship with. This helps make a friendly place where everyone supports each other. Remember to say nice things, listen, and show that you care, just like you would with a friend.
A good way of doing this is by rewarding your team. You could have a "Star of the Week" award for the person who does something really good. It doesn't have to be a big prize; even a thank you note can make someone feel special.
If you want to build a team that works well together, it's important to pay attention to everyone. Have regular check-ins, where you ask how they are doing and if they need help. This shows you're there for them.
Investing in your team means helping them get better at what they do. You could find free online courses or spend a little time teaching them something new. It's like watering plants; when you help them grow, they will do better.
Managing a team is easier when you like to be nice to people. So if you're already someone who enjoys talking and being kind, you'll probably find it easy to make your team feel happy and work well together.
When people don't like talking much or working with others, they might need tricks and tips to manage. But if that's you, try to step out of your comfort zone. Even just a little bit of effort to connect with your team can go a long way!
