Here's how you can make sure all team members feel valued and included in the decision-making process.

To make sure everyone on the team feels valued and included in decision-making, ask for their opinions and give them a chance to speak up. Encourage them to share their ideas and acknowledge their contributions in front of the team. Talk about their skills and achievements to keep them motivated. For example, if a team member's idea helped make a project successful, mention it as a great example of their valuable input. This helps everyone feel included and shows that their ideas are important.

The leader should nearly always speak last as to not influence the team and to encourage the team to find their own solution. When listening in an active way, you feel the speakers emotions and can empathize on a much deeper level.

The importance of active listening is very key in the team,as the team leader you should listen to all the team members contributions towards making a better and stronger team. When you listen effectively you make the team members feel a part of the team and you are able to use the contributions and Idea to build the team for effective service delivery. It's critical to develop effective listening skills and this can enhance productivity,making team members psychologically attached to the team and the organisation, it also builds connectedness amongst team members for the overall good of the organisation.

Delegate decision-making responsibilities wherever appropriate. Allowing team members to take ownership of certain decisions can help them feel more invested in the outcome and also actively acting on the feedback and suggestions given by the team.

One thing I found valuable is to actively listen to others to the end without interrupting the stream of though and that might give them sense of comfort and a non threatening environment to talk, then discuss with others decisions and opinions in a democratic way.

I have read “Diversity is a fact. Equity is a choice. inclusion is an action. Belonging is an outcome” if everyone used this DEI we would have a better understanding

Encouraging team members to share insights and motivating them for maximum participation in order to receive diverse perspectives is a sign of great work culture and leadership. Listening to them carefully also considering their inputs during decision making creates a sense of confidence and belongingness. It is also important to repeat if you like certain ideas to recognise them and give due credits in presence of other team members. This is the highest level of validation and appreciation. A good leader is approachable and welcomes new ideas.

Estoy complentamente de acuerdo, ya que ver otros puntos de vista no simplemente nos fa perspectiva, sino refuerza el equipo mas positivamente en la toma de decisiones y los cambios en nuevas dimensiones.

Prior to any decision-making ensure that communication is made across all levels of stakeholders that may be impacted by the decision either way no matter how small or big the impact. Purpose, action plans, timeline, impacts and risk mitigations are all shared with all stakeholders. At different stages of the decision-making process key team members are aware and trained / equipped on how to communicate and execute the action plans. Competent and capable team members help build trust in others that the process is managed effectively and that the decision was sound.

It’s always recommended to share the action with long term consequences with the team. Encourage them to share their views, listen to each and every voice. If there is disagreement, take time to convince with a logic, facts and figures. This process of decision making will be fully owned by the team and will be never questioned.

Involve team members who are experienced in different field so as to get wholesome perspectives for a well informed approach in problem solving and decision making.

Ser el responsable de la toma de decisiones de un equipo nunca nadie dijo que fuera fácil. Ser lo más transparente posible ayuda a que el equipo comprenda los cambios que pueden aparecer en tus decisiones. Dar respeto y confianza, dos cosas que van cogidas de la mano, nos ayuda a que el resto de miembros del equipo comprendan tus decisiones sin cuestionarlas.

Always ask for their opinion and actually listen to those opinions. When the suggestions can’t be taken, explain why it is an inferior suggestion and appreciate them for speaking up.

Delegar y dar herramientas al equipo, ayuda a en fortalecer los vínculos entre todos los miembros, así les estas mostrando interés i apoyo.

Estar predispuesto al diálogo abierto es una buena herramienta para que todos los miembros del equipo puedan decir la suya. En muchas ocasiones siempre hay alguien que considera esta posibilidad para echar la carrocería de las cosas negativas. Es arriesgado pero nos puede facilitar información constructiva para la vida del equipo para mejorar. Ojo! Parad a la persona que solo echa piedras! Se le dice que esto es para mejorar y no para decir todo lo malo que se hace!

Ask people what they need as well as what they think. Don't just assume anything about anyone based on appearances and what the stereotypes say. Listen and be open to what they have to say and don't discount or write anything off right off the bat because of who you think the person is or what they look like. Let them reach their potentials; don't decide what others are capable of.
