New Department, New Problems
A month ago I transferred to a different department and unexpectedly became the person everyone looks to for decisions. The team is talented, but getting people aligned has been harder than I imagined. Yesterday two members worked on the same task without knowing it. Can anyone recommend a good resource on how to successfully lead team members and improve coordination?

I stepped into a similar situation last year - suddenly “the decision person” with zero prep. We also had duplicate work happen, which was a wake-up call. What helped was simple: short daily check-ins and making ownership super clear, even if it felt repetitive. I also looked into how experienced leaders structure teams - this profile had some useful insights: Richard W Warke . Alignment isn’t instant, but small communication habits fix a lot over time.
