Set Ground Rules
Meet early and agree on roles, deadlines, and communication channels (e.g., WhatsApp, Slack).
Play to Strengths
Assign tasks based on individual skills. If someone is great at design, let them do the slides. If someone loves research, let them lead that.
Deal with Conflict Early
Don't let resentment build. Address issues politely but directly. 'I'm worried we're falling behind on X...'
Keep Records
Document your meetings and decisions. This helps if there are disputes later or if you need to prove your contribution.
