Shared Vision When Working Within A Team

As with any team, individuals will always have their own views and opinions on how things should be or should be done and this can create dispute or disagreement. One way to manage this is by having open communication and discussions, listening to feedback and working together and agreeing as a team practical ways and solutions to completing objectives.
To promote a shared vision within a team it is important to be aware of the objective you wish to attain. Team members also need to have a clear definition of what is expected of them and be given support to achieve this. The team need the knowledge and training to do the job. They need to know that a shared vision reflects on everyone.

A simple way of sharing this would be to set some time aside say, within a team meeting to share knowledge and support good practice.
Brainstorming sessions- This is a less frequently used method but is something that from time to time is a great tool for not only sharing of knowledge and skills but also identifying more practical ways and solutions to approaches and ways of working. A brainstorming session should be used for generating lots of new ideas and solutions. It should not be used for analysis or for decision making.
