    To balance team dynamics when integrating new consultants, I would focus on clear communication, collaboration, and mentorship. Ensuring that new consultants understand the team's existing culture and processes is key. Pairing them with seasoned team members for guidance and fostering an open environment where feedback is encouraged can help align expectations and build trust. Additionally, setting clear roles and objectives for everyone helps integrate new members smoothly without disrupting the team's flow.
