I’m always jazzed when my team brings me ideas/thoughts/angles that I haven’t considered before.
This is particularly important in today’s modern workforce where we value creativity and collaboration. The bright minds of our newer generations don’t want to just punch in and out for a paycheck, they want to feel like they’re making a difference in the various roles they take, even though they may not be the captain of the ship.
What’s tricky is when switching to the “emergency” mode or in very challenging situations where an executive decision needs to be made, and sometimes that decision goes against the consensus. Not everyone on the team understands or is read in on the details behind such tough decisions and may feel demoralized that their inputs don’t count at the end. So it’s prudent for a leader to communicate, to the extent possible, that such action is needed to steer the team out of harms way.
