To address power dynamics and foster open idea-sharing, start by creating a safe and inclusive environment where all voices are valued equally. Encourage open dialogue by setting clear expectations that everyone’s input is important, regardless of role or seniority. Facilitate meetings in a way that allows quieter team members to speak up, such as by using round-robin discussions or anonymous feedback tools. Model openness by actively seeking input and showing appreciation for diverse perspectives. Implement team-building activities to break down hierarchical barriers, and continuously emphasize the importance of collaboration and shared success.
