    If a team member ignores feedback in meetings, I would approach them privately to understand why. It might be that they have concerns or need more clarity. By having an open conversation, I can support them and help create a better environment for feedback and collaboration.

    Approach the situation with curiosity rather than frustration. Speak with them privately to understand their perspective, are they unaware, resistant, or feeling unheard themselves? Reinforce the value of feedback in team success and set clear expectations for engagement. If the pattern continues, provide specific examples and outline the impact on the team, ensuring accountability while also offering support.

    Si alguien ignora los comentarios en las reuniones, el problema no es solo de esa persona, sino de todo el equipo. ¿Por qué sigue ocurriendo? ¿Hay miedo a confrontarlo? Si no hay consecuencias reales por ignorar la retroalimentación, entonces no hay incentivos para cambiar. En lugar de repetir la importancia de escuchar, prueba asignar responsabilidades concretas: "Necesito que integres este punto en la próxima presentación" o "Quiero ver estos cambios en acción para el siguiente reporte". Sin acción, la retroalimentación es solo ruido de fondo.
