Want to get better at working well with others?

The first thing you need to remember is to be clear and constructive. Be transparent about your expectations. And if you disagree, try not to lead with negativity. Bring another solution to the table to move the process forward.

The second thing is to be honest. That means giving people due credit when they come up with great ideas, and telling the truth if you're the one who makes a mistake. It will go a long way to create a trust among your team member.
