I'd add this: if you are lucky, your team starts with good levels of rapport, trust, and open communication. If not, I'd recommend putting consistent effort into growing those -- which can happen a little at a time. I might even recommend making time to talk about these topics directly.
- jacquesm 10y agoAgreed, I'd put it even stronger: if you feel that those are not where you want them to be stop whatever you're doing and get those hammered out, spend a day, two or even a week figuring out what causes the problem, propose a way to deal with them and then restart the work. Re-evaluate after a month to see if the chosen strategy works. Building things when those important elements are missing will translate into building things of low quality and with potentially large problems, which may require costly re-work in the future. In a situation like that it is more often than not more productive not to build anything at all until those issues are resolved. Crappy teams build crappy products.
