As a senior marketing executive in Mitsu Corp, I have had multiple opportunities to manage teams for different projects. In my role, I've realized the importance of clear communication, setting realistic expectations, providing constructive feedback, and fostering a collaborative environment.
For instance, when we were launching a new product line, I was tasked with leading a team of seven members. My first step was to clearly communicate the objectives to the team. We established open channels of communication and a system for regular updates. I also encouraged team members to share their ideas and feedback, which led to everyone feeling valued and invested in the project's success.
One of the key challenges I faced was mediating different communication styles and work habits within the team. To overcome this, I arranged regular team-building activities and encouraged an open dialogue about work habits and preferences. This led to greater respect and understanding among the team members and significantly boosted our performance.
