     decisions and manage their own work.

     Foster a supportive and collaborative environment where team members
     feel comfortable sharing ideas, seeking feedback and taking risks.

     Build trust among team members and between the team and leadership
     to enable effective communication, collaboration and decision-making.
- Accountability:

     Hold team members accountable for their actions and outcomes,
     encouraging ownership and responsibility for their work.
- Continuous Improvemen

     identify areas for improvement and implement changes to enhance their
     effectiveness and efficiency.

To achieve a Self steering team you need to allow everyone in the team to assume different leadership roles in different situations

 

Responsibility distribution

    Through responsibility distribution, the team becomes less dependent on the
    specific leader and more resistant to challenges.
Encourage initiative

    Team members feel that their contribution is valuable and that they have the
    authority to act. It increases their motivation and engagement.
Self Leadership

   The concept gives the coworkers the power to develop themselves into
   the best version of themselves.
Increase the Flexibility

   Self steering teams have the ability to quickly adapt to new changes and

   challenges without awaiting instructions.
