Active listening: show that you hear and understand what other group members are trying to convey. Validate other team members contributions when applicable.
When possible, ask open-ended questions that allow other members to provide full responses.
Find a common ground with other members of the group, discuss group and individual expectations, define conflicts and resolutions.
