To initiate collaboration, knowledge is the first step. As a team leader, you have the responsibility to create knowledge environments for the team to collaborate and support, such as team building.
- How easily do you give the chance to make decisions?
The ultimate responsibility for a fact or authority over a situation generally leads people to devote maximum energy and concentration to fulfill the need, implicitly to get the best out of the available resources. Practice such situations on a regular basis, in a little obvious rotation, and give people the support but also the confidence to take risks. Situations with surprising results are those where solutions or ideas emerge that you might not have thought of.
- How often do you give credit?

How would this state of assumption be a general one in your team? Mistakes to be recognized, accepted, aiming to avoid them, and performance recognized in a transparent, but also punctual way, so that it can be easily transmitted and remembered as good practice, but above all to give a feeling of satisfaction following an effort. While in some situations, material recognition has a greater effect, there are cases where sincere appreciation can make a difference.
