Which all lead to our 5th and final best practice: Establish Trust
The foundation of any lasting relationship, professional or personal, is trust. It is easier said than done and it will take some time. In any professional relationship, team members have to know others will deliver on promises, support shared goals, pitch in during challenging times, provide feedback, and maintain open communication.
