How do you handle scenarios where team members have overlapping responsibilities

Question

How do you manage such scenarios to ensure clarity in roles, minimize duplication of efforts, and maintain team cohesion?

Answer 1

When members share responsibilities, I make clear who is doing what so that it doesn't become confused. I make open communication within a team regarding the workload and any possible conflict, and, if need be, will help to prioritize tasks and more clearly delegate their responsibilities, letting everyone know what he or she is accountable for. I encourage collaboration as well, allowing the team to assist each other when overlapping is happening, which eliminates bottlenecks and moves work forward more easily.
