Here's how you can enhance your leadership skills to effectively guide diverse teams in problem solving.

Listen to your team, empower and motivate individuals by allowing them to contribute, try implement their ideas, genuinely recognise their input and give as much or less support required.

Leader should encourage team members to evolve a consensus in terms of ‘Defining the Problem’ to have a common perspective and encourage team to express their own views, regarding how the problem can be resolved. (This will give team sense of involvement for successful implementation of agreed action steps). Leader needs to tactfully channelize the diverse approaches and derive some commonality of approach, in the finally agreed way of addressing the problem. While implementing the agreed steps for solving the problem, Leader should carefully allocate responsibilities to each of the team members, keeping in mind their respective strengths and developmental areas with clear communications so that all team members are on the same page.

Listening! Listening to your subordinates/ team members and make them comfortable to reach you will create a culture of diversity. Discussions provide ideas, Involving team members feel them valued. Everyone around us enlightens us without knowing or unknowing. So respect everyone.

To enhance your leadership skills in guiding diverse teams through problem-solving, focus on fostering a culture of inclusivity where every voice is heard and valued. Embrace diverse perspectives to enrich decision-making. Encourage open communication and active listening to understand varying viewpoints. Utilize techniques like design thinking to promote collaborative problem-solving, ensuring everyone contributes to solutions. Emphasize empathy and emotional intelligence to navigate cultural differences and build cohesive teams. Continuous feedback loops can refine processes and outcomes. By nurturing trust and respect within your team, you'll harness its full potential for innovative problem-solving.

Fomentar um ambiente inclusivo é essencial para desenvolver habilidades de liderança em equipes diversificadas. Entenda que cada membro traz uma bagagem única de experiências e perspectivas que enriquecem o processo de tomada de decisões. Ao valorizar essas diferenças, você promove um ambiente onde soluções inovadoras podem surgir. Pratique a escuta ativa e demonstre um interesse genuíno nas contribuições culturais de sua equipe, pois isso fortalece a confiança e incentiva uma comunicação aberta e honesta.

Listen more. Speak less. Practice curiosity. Paraphrase people’s contributions and ask, “Did I understand correctly? Did I miss anything?”

El liderazgo implica modelaje...implica servicio y tomar en cuenta a todos los miembros del equipo. Mientras todos los miembros del equipo se sientan tomados en cuenta, incluidos, el ambiente de trabajo será un ambiente de colaboración, de generación de ideas, que conlleva a la motivación y al final esto se traduce en resultados y en fortalezas para el equipo. Para esto es muy importante mantener relaciones laborales sanas, una comunicación clara y que todos se sientan con la mayor confianza de expresar ideas, colaborar, y de aprender. Esto asegura un éxito en el equipo sin duda

Para resolver problemas de forma eficaz em equipe, é crucial garantir que todos os membros se sintam valorizados e ouvidos. Como líder, crie um ambiente onde cada voz seja considerada, promovendo uma atmosfera de respeito e segurança para a expressão de ideias. Facilite a comunicação aberta e estabeleça normas claras para interações respeitosas. Dessa forma, você fomenta um processo colaborativo onde a diversidade de perspectivas é apreciada e aproveitada para encontrar soluções mais robustas e inovadoras.

Room for Expressing ideas. When people been involved, and they feel that we are listening there we created a room for expressing their suggestions/ concerns that give us a path to problem solving. Form a committee of your team members, choose a representative from each team. Arrange a meeting biweekly with them. Listen to their concerns if anything then ask for room to improve. As a Leader we never make our team feel unsafe to speak out. Leadership is a personality more than a skill. Be a Leader.

Also recognize that you don't have all the answers when it comes to knowing what is going to make people feel inclusion or exclusion. Invite people to give you feedback - so you can hear when you do it well and when you mess up, as we all do. Lead with humility.

It's important to destigmatize bias. Learning about basic heuristics is helpful. When I deliver unconscious bias training, I start with examples of bias we see daily in the community. I then lean into the brain's need to and the benefit of making things happen quickly; that's how we drive home while processing the day's work without noticing our drive. Thus we all suffer from and sometimes need to have biases. Importantly, I stressed that bias is just how we operate; it doesn't make us bad or good. It is bad only if we purposefully ignore it or act on it. I get vulnerable and share how I had exhibited bias and realized it. Then I let them know how to catch themselves letting heuristics "drive" in situations that you cannot.

Se faz necessário entender e aceitar que todos nós temos vieses e que estes, mesmo que inconscientemente, podem interferir em ações e tomadas de decisão. É preciso identificá-los e agir ativamente para removê-los, quando se fizer necessário.

Definitivamente la comunicación es la base para toda convivencia y clave para el éxito en cualquier ámbito. Suena repetitivo escuchar siempre esto, pero es así. Mientras mantengamos una comunicación clara, un feedback efectivo, nos aseguraremos que todos estemos alineados y asi cerrar la brecha de los supuestos o los malos entendidos. Soy partidaria de siempre verificar o confirmar si lo que se dice se entendió, de pedir feedback y luego hacer seguimiento, independientemente del canal de comunicación que estemos usando. Adicionalmente, la comunicación y el feedback contribuyen a un mejor ambiente, a la inclusión de todos y a que el trabajo se haga de la manera más clara, eficiente y con mayor pasión.

Communicate Effectively. Construction will have people’s from different countries, languages, cultures. It’s essential that each and every person of our team must understand what we are communicating with them in terms of personal safety, wellbeing and social interaction. Hence identify peoples who are not understanding the widely spoken language in your site location. Choose representative who can translate and make them understand and explains you what the communication in between happened. While creating committee include people from different language/ culture to identify in depth or into roots of concerns which helps to give proper understanding and provides solutions for Problem Solving.

A lo largo de mi trayectoria profesional, he participado en procesos de cambio y desarrollo de talento en empresas de diversos tamaños, desde grandes multinacionales hasta pequeñas organizaciones. En estas experiencias, he podido constatar el inmenso valor del aprendizaje continuo como herramienta fundamental para el crecimiento de todos los colaboradores, siempre contando con el respaldo y la promoción por parte de la alta gerencia. Una cultura de aprendizaje continuo no solo impulsa la mejora de los procesos y garantiza su correcto funcionamiento, minimizando errores, sino que también fomenta un ambiente de colaboración entre todos los miembros del equipo. Esto se traduce en un mayor compromiso, mejor comunicación y éxito en la empresa

Continuous Improvement: There is no barrier to learn. Just need self interest and time to learn new ideas, skills and much more. Work Life balance play a key role, excessive working hours/ travel keeps people tired and stressed. In this case change your travel time to learn something if you’re using public transport. Learn from people around you is key to success in many ways. Life lessons vary from person to person. Bunch of different opinions can get from different people give new perspectives in life. Always ready to learn and keeps you motivated.

Considero que una de las habilidades más importantes para el liderazgo es el modelaje, una persona que lidera con el ejemplo, desde el corazón, de manera espontánea, genuina y coherente, sin duda podrá ser considerado un gran lider, por supuesto sumando el resto de habilidades y competencias que debe tener. Pero para mi, el modelaje, es tan importante como el resto de habilidades.
