Unable to dispatch/listen event from Action

I'm unable to dispatch and/or listen to a Livewire event from an Action. I have a resource with a table and a custom action that looks like this: 
Action::make('switchTeam')
            ->label(__('Switch team'))
            ->icon('heroicon-s-arrow-right-circle')
            ->color('gray')
            ->action(function (Team $team) {
                // Something happens here
            })
            ->dispatch( 'switchedTeam' )
Action::make('switchTeam')
            ->label(__('Switch team'))
            ->icon('heroicon-s-arrow-right-circle')
            ->color('gray')
            ->action(function (Team $team) {
                // Something happens here
            })
            ->dispatch( 'switchedTeam' )
I then have a custom livewire component that I've loaded through render hooks inside the header bar next to the user's menu. In the component I've tried the following methods but nothing is being fired. 1st test: 
protected $listeners = [
  'switchedTeam' => 'fireEvent',
];
protected $listeners = [
  'switchedTeam' => 'fireEvent',
];
2nd test: 
#[On('switchedTeam')]
public function fireEvent() {
  Log::info('fireEvent');
}
#[On('switchedTeam')]
public function fireEvent() {
  Log::info('fireEvent');
}
But nothing is happening. What am I doing wrong? Thanks 🙏
Solution:
try this: ```php ->action(function (Team $team) { //action here })...

try this: 
->action(function (Team $team) {
    //action here
})
->after(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->dispatch('switchedTeam'))
->action(function (Team $team) {
    //action here
})
->after(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->dispatch('switchedTeam'))
your component 
use Livewire\Attributes\On;

#[On('switchedTeam')]
public function fireEvent()
{
    Log::info('fireEvent');
}
use Livewire\Attributes\On;

#[On('switchedTeam')]
public function fireEvent()
{
    Log::info('fireEvent');
}
