He finishes his list by saying, “And I need to be on the [Issues List](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/power-of-the-issues-list) as well.” This gathered a few looks but I told the group that we had bigger fish to fry so we were not going to dive into solving any of the issues just yet.  [Read More](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/for-the-greater-good) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/for-the-greater-good#comments-listing) Topics: [Leadership](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/topic/leadership), [Leadership Teams](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/topic/leadership-teams), [Issues](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/topic/issues), [Solving Issues](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/topic/solving-issues) ## [How To Make Your Good Team A Great Team](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/how-make-good-team-great-team) Written by[Chris White](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/author/chris-white) on December 12, 2019 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://www.eosworldwide.com/hubfs/Blog_Featured_Images/photo-of-people-having-conversation-3184285.jpg)](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/how-make-good-team-great-team) One of the toughest obstacles for a leadership team of a company to overcome is “vulnerability-based trust” where it’s safe to have conflict and take risks rather than fear them.

It’s simply that some issues are bigger and more emotionally charged than others. [People issues](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/solving-people-issue-is-scary) usually top the list as the toughest to take on. Many leaders delay addressing these problems because they fear they will be painful and result in unpleasant outcomes. Good problem solving is like reaching the eye of a hurricane.
