Having an objective team is one that has the following qualities:
1) Creative
2) Able to evaluate situations effectively
3) Able to analyze data
4) Able to apply practical principles to real-life business situations
5) Has the skill set necessary and cognitive ability to grow and adapt to change
As business owners, we can use tools to assist with some of these but practically, we can be active to help a team member grow in their position.
1) Allow different team members to sit in on meetings. This will help avoid groupthink, allow for new insight as well as assist in the development of team members
2) Welcome curiosity and allow for feedback to cultivate creativity
3) Own mistakes. Vulnerability results in trust and connection so situations can be evaluated effectively
4) Look to other industries for answers
5) Listen to understand, not to tell (listen for objective data to help analyze the situation and provide solutions). Walk them through your decision-making processes
