Team morale - Linkedin

I'm not surprised by this report. In decades of technology leadership, here are the key strategies I follow:

✅Prioritize the team's goals over personal agendas.
✅Cultivate expertise aligned with business objectives.
✅Acknowledge and reward effort alongside outcomes.
✅Uphold fairness, honesty, and impartiality.
✅Provide factual explanations for decisions.
✅Foster collaboration across all team directions.
✅Remove obstacles, distractions, and promote open feedback.

Recognize signs of dysfunction:

❗Absence of clear roadmap, processes, services, or products.
❗Disregard for innovative ideas and experimentation.
❗Serial top performer or promotion.
❗Tolerating bullying or harassment for control.
❗Discouraging facts, questions, or feedback.
❗Fixating on gaps rather than achievements.

Consider a successful sports team where each member has a defined role, redundancy, and enjoys the journey to victory. Achieving excellence demands strategy, skill, dedication, and continuous learning.
