Keep short accounts.
This is one of the best team-building principles I learned early in my career, and it is still true decades later.
If something is bothering you, address it.
If there’s tension with a teammate, talk to them directly and work through it.
Don’t let it sit. Don’t build a case in your head.
And don’t talk to everyone except the person you actually need to talk to.
It’s a simple practice, but it keeps small things from becoming big things. And it builds healthier, stronger teams.
