Quando percebo que minhas reuni?es de equipe est?o com pouca participa??o, a primeira coisa que fa?o é criar um ambiente mais acolhedor. Procuro incentivar a troca de ideias, deixando claro que todas as opini?es s?o válidas. Também adoto perguntas abertas para estimular o diálogo e direciono o foco para quem costuma ser mais silencioso, sem for?ar. Valorizo a contribui??o de cada um e fa?o quest?o de demonstrar isso durante as conversas. Para mim, garantir a participa??o ativa significa criar um espa?o onde todos se sintam ouvidos e respeitados. O engajamento nasce da confian?a.

Psychological safety. Without psychological safety, participating in meetings is fraught with risk that’s different for each person, depending on what matters to them and they’ve been received on every other team they’ve been on. Creating psychological safety requires we ensure team members feel empowered to speak in support — or challenge — of anything up for discussion. Limiting the allowed topics unnecessarily creates unsafe conditions. It may make sense to call on each person to ensure they have an opportunity to speak, but it’s important to create space for participation in ways that invite and protect each person as an individual. That sometimes requires opening space or sharing ideas without putting people on the spot.

For me, encouraging team participation is about creating an open and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. Before meetings, I let the team know I’ll be asking for input and reassure them that while I want to hear their thoughts, it’s perfectly okay to pass if they’re not ready to speak up. I pay special attention to quieter members to ensure that no one dominates the conversation. To keep things engaging, I incorporate fun, low-pressure interactions, like informal brainstorming sessions and team-building activities that spark creativity. Setting clear goals helps everyone see how their contributions impact the bigger picture, fostering a sense of ownership and camaraderie that truly energizes the team.

Wenn die Teambesprechungen ruhiger sind als gewünscht, bringe ich gerne etwas mehr Struktur und Anreize für Beteiligung hinein. Oft hilft es, Fragen gezielt an einzelne Teammitglieder zu richten – das gibt allen die Chance, ihre Sichtweise einzubringen, ohne dass sie sich ?aufdr?ngen“ müssen. Auch eine lockere Start-Runde oder das Einbauen kurzer Brainstorming-Sessions sorgt meist dafür, dass sich die Stimmung ?ffnet und mehr Ideen flie?en.
