Ask them for feed back and ideas.
Anytime you have the opportunity to do so, get them involved in decision making and project design.
Every single person you work with has a massive creative resource.
In so many organizations this creative power is locked in and suppressed.
Why?
Because many bosses tend to compete with their team rather than collaborating with it.
This is simply a negative managerial pattern.
It’s a controlling attitude that turns against the positive creative flow of your organization.
Here is how you ask for feed back:
“I am focusing on this project and wonder what your ideas are on that one… What do you feel would work best?”
You ask for opinions, ideas or feed back.
