"I'll immediately gather everyone for a team meeting. In this meeting, I'll give everyone the time and space to air out their challenges and concerns. I'll listen and empathize with them and assure them that I will do everything I can to get them what they need to complete their tasks. I'll also ask them for feedback about my performance as a leader and act on that feedback. As tasks are completed, I'll post shoutouts in the group chat to boost their morale. I'll also hold individual catch-ups regularly, even if it's just for 15 minutes at a time so that we can put out small fires before they catch on."
