In this situation

Build relationships that make participation easier
Ask for specific feedback and consider other explanations for silence.

Use your own needs, skills and circumstances to decide which suggestions help. Type labels do not determine suitability or compatibility.

Potential strengths

You may keep members connected and notice someone being left out. A supportive atmosphere can make coordination and requests for help easier.

Where friction can arise

Concern about how everyone reacts can slow a difficult decision. A quiet response may be mistaken for a negative judgment of you or your leadership.

Practical steps

Ask for specific feedback and consider other explanations for silence. State the decision criteria so relationships do not have to carry the whole burden of agreement.

What to avoid

Avoid trying to remove every uncomfortable feeling before the team proceeds. Respectful disagreement can coexist with a cooperative relationship.

Conditions that may help

Coordination and maintaining connections may help. Keep the goal and responsibilities explicit so social support contributes to the work rather than replacing a decision.
