In my last two articles, I’ve explored the concept of a team’s Conversational Capacity ®.

Every individual in the team is valuable towards the success of the team. But to a great extent, it is the manager’s and the team leader’s responsibility to ensure that their team members feel valued. Engaging with your team members is not just having a transactional relationship. It takes more than these feel-good events to build an engaged team of individuals. A Disengaged Team Reflects the Leader’s Mindset.

It’s a reflection of a team’s “conversational capacity” – the ability to have open, balanced, non-defensive dialogue about tough subjects and in challenging circumstances. Teams that have a high conversational capacity know how to stay in the “sweet spot.”
