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
