Model the behavior you expect

Show up on time, acknowledge mistakes, and treat people fairly. Consistency creates trust more effectively than promises alone.

Make participation easier

Explain tasks clearly, invite questions, and recognize different strengths. Good teamwork gives people a useful way to contribute.

Learn from feedback

Ask what could work better after a project. Listen without becoming defensive and use the feedback to improve the next effort.
