Your team is lost in a sea of uncertainty. How can you guide them to clarity on their responsibilities?

One method I've employed is creating a visual roadmap that outlines the team's goals and individual contributions. This serves as a constant and accessible reference point for everyone. In addition, encouraging a culture where it is safe to ask questions and express concerns helps alleviate confusion. When team members feel comfortable seeking clarification, it reinforces their understanding and commitment to their roles.

Para orientar a equipe em meio à incerteza e esclarecer responsabilidades, realizo uma reunião para revisar e definir claramente as funções e expectativas. Estabeleço objetivos específicos e criáveis, com prazos e metas tangíveis. Forneço documentação detalhada e facilmente acessível sobre as responsabilidades de cada membro. Mantenho uma comunicação aberta para resolver dúvidas e ajustar as atribuições conforme necessário. Acompanho o progresso e ofereço feedback contínuo para garantir alinhamento e clareza.

As a team leader, you need to be clear on the disruption and how it is impacting your team even BEFORE going to them with a plan. Spend some time thinking about all the impact then ask the question from your team, "what do you think will be the impacts?" Often a leader will overlook some of the impact from a disruption but the team will have some of those answers. Come together in a collaborative mindset and try to predict together all of the impact. Then create a plan to minimize the uncertainty through communication and transparency.

⬛◼️En lugar de solo compartir objetivos, conviértelos en historias visuales impactantes — infografías, mapas mentales o paneles visuales interactivos — que muestren cómo cada persona contribuye al éxito del equipo. Haz que todos vean su rol en la gran misión. ◼️ Refuerza la idea de que las responsabilidades no son rígidas, sino adaptativas. Motiva a tu equipo a ser proactivos, asumiendo nuevos roles o tareas según la situación cambiante. Flexibilidad y responsabilidad son las nuevas reglas del juego. ◼️Antes de que el caos golpee, organiza simulaciones rápidas donde el equipo debe adaptarse a cambios inesperados en roles, recursos o prioridades.
