The Power of Inclusiveness

Inclusiveness

Imagine you love playing football unfortunately you are no good. For the last two years on game day instead of playing the field you were sitting on the bench . How much does it get to you when your team looses?

Probably, not so much, right?


Here is why, you are not as invested as you would be when you were able to actually play.

Same goes for Businesses. A leader who is not able to make his team feel invested will never achieve as positive results as he probably  would when they were. If one feels included and as a part of something it is often proved that the motivation to work and work harder is higher.Hence, the leaders mission becomes the teams mission.

This is also how the army works. All soldiers fight for their county and the freedom of their people. Military missions are often a lot more powerful and easier to determine than business mission statements. Nevertheless, they are of great important to express the company goals and allow higher employee engagement.

Another way to achieve team investment is to share information and include them in decisions. Inclusiveness even in tiny business decision as for example consultancy on a decision lead to the feeling of involvement. Thus, motivation to achieve the shared mission is accomplished.
