What to do when your team is not supportive

Help doesn't always have to  come from our direct team!

Prep:

  • Get clear on the exact problem 
  • What is causing the problem
  • Where did you get stuck?
  • What have you tried?
    • Did any of those action items move the needle? 

Network: 

  • Are there other teams that can help you?
  • If you asked your colleagues, can your boss help?
  • If you asked your boss, can your colleagues help?
  • Network: ex-colleagues? 
    • Previous leaders
    • LinkedIn
    • Job specific meet ups
    • Social media platforms 
    • Ask experts in your field 

Evaluate: 

  • Is this a company you want to stay at?
  • Is this a leader you want to work for and align to? 
  • It's ok to move on if this is a long term issue vs temporary problem

Continue to be a rockstar!

  • Communicate progress / roadblocks / solutions 
  • Stay consistent 
  • Ask for flexibility 
  • Have a plan
  • Understand the goals you're working towards
  • Take control
  • Can't fix or change it all, accept that 
  • Perform well
