Team disagreeing

Gather input from your team before making the decision, get buy-in up front. If you choose a different direction than they would have preferred, be (partly) transparent about why. Make sure people feel you truly heard them. Sell the benefits of your decision. Make sure you are approachable and don’t alienate them with a “do-it-or-else” attitude. Choose one of the following strategies as per the situation. Evaporate the issue, provide rationale and keep interchange simple so tempers do not flare. Concede, keep criticisms at bay and allow results to speak for the proper choice. Compromise, if your team has valid points and useful ideas. Assert authority, be prepared to address the disputing employee and elaborate by providing perspectives.
