For example, consider a product catalog where the product descriptions are static and rarely updated. In this case, implementing a type 2 SCD, which tracks historical changes, may not be necessary. Instead, a simple type 1 SCD, which overwrites existing data with new values, could suffice. This approach simplifies the data model and reduces complexity without sacrificing essential functionality.

SCD are not always required. When SCDs are not required, it's essential to assess the specific business needs and data characteristics to determine the appropriate approach. This involves understanding the frequency of data changes, the importance of historical tracking, and the impact on reporting and analytics. By carefully evaluating these factors, it can make informed decisions about whether to implement SCDs or use alternative strategies to meet the data management requirements.

Through clear communication, empathy and collaboration. I Arrange regular 1:1 meetings with each employee to discuss current workload, priorities and any challenges. I Actively listen to employees concerns and offer support where needed. I formulate my expectations and any changes to expectations clearly and give reasons for them. I establish realistic and achievable goals together with employees, taking into account their skills, resources and capacities. I encourage them to engage in open dialog and provide regular feedback to ensure alignment and address any issues that arise. I involve my them in the process and show them understanding and support, so I can achieve smoother transitions and maintain motivation and commitment in the team.

Improving communication without interruptions includes active listening, clarity of expression, respect for others' perspectives, encouraging open dialog, managing distractions, clarifying misunderstandings and providing constructive feedback. By focusing on these aspects, teams can foster transparency, trust and collaboration, leading to more productive interactions and positive outcomes. That's the way I try to go, but it's also a question of character whether you can handle open communication or not. Hiding something and regretting it later doesn't help anyone.

Obtaining feedback is a crucial step in understanding how your actions and behavior are perceived by others and identifying opportunities for improvement in your professional relationships. I try to achieve this by choosing the right time and setting for the feedback and ensuring that the person is not busy or stressed and is giving me their full attention. I also express my openness to feedback by saying that the feedback is to make someone better, not worse, and that I want them to improve and grow.

Addressing challenges in professional relationships requires self-awareness, effective communication, and a willingness to collaborate and find common ground. By taking proactive steps to improve communication, clarify expectations, address conflicts, and build trust, you can foster positive and productive professional relationships. It is also very important to give employees a sense of the purpose of the task so that they know why they are doing what.
