Your team is struggling, and you’re feeling the pressure. There’s an underlying tension, possibly even visible hostility. Informal factions have formed among individuals, and trust seems to be lacking. What can you do? Addressing this issue clearly falls under your responsibility.Instead of focusing on blame or perceived shortcomings, consider establishing a constructive framework to tackle this challenging situation. This approach promotes team growth rather than merely addressing current issues.Here’s a summary of our RE-TEAMING exercise designed to lead you away from dysfunctionality toward a thriving team feeling and function:STEP 1: 🧭 Reality Check — Name It to Change ItDefine the issues at hand and clarify your role as a leader. This is your preparation before “the big encounter” with your people.STEP 2: 🧩 Reconnect — Start Human, Not TacticalEngage the team in workshops and exercises designed to facilitate realignment. The details are in our tool, but to be clear, this is where you’ll spend most of your time and efforts to mend and rebuild the workspace.STEP 3: 🎯 Re-align — Get Back to a Shared PurposeEnter the agreement phase, where everyone commits to new ways of working together. This is the phase where you all (hopefully) feel confident that there’s hope for a better future. If you don’t have everyone on board, maybe back track a bit to see what more you can add to the process.STEP 4: 🧱 Rebuild Trust — Slowly, with ConsistencyEstablish follow-up measures and success metrics to track progress. And be sure to do this thoroughly. It’s all about trust!When performing this work, some common pitfalls need your attention. Here are some examples:🔥 Common Pitfalls in RE-TEAMING1. Skipping the real issues“Let’s just focus on the future.”✅ Moving forward is great — but if old wounds and unspoken conflicts are never addressed, they’ll keep resurfacing.2. Jumping to action without agreement“Let’s just decide and move on.”✅ Without shared understanding or buy-in, teams won’t follow through, and old patterns return quickly.3. Avoiding discomfort“We don’t want to make things worse.”✅ Honest, respectful tension is necessary for real growth. Avoiding hard conversations keeps dysfunction alive.If you’d like to learn the full list of questions for this exercise, check out RE-TEAMING at our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.leadershipworks.se/tools">website </a>(or in the app if you’re a member!)Best of luck!/Your Leadership Works Team
