You Are Not Working with AI or Robots. You Are Working with Humans.
"Involve me, and I will learn"
No matter what your title is, if you are leading a team, you should always remember this People are not machines that just follow commands. They think, feel, and bring their own ideas. If you involve them, you will see the difference.
AI can help speed up tasks and provide ideas. It can make the daily tasks and processes of many things much easier, but it lacks the unique value and personal touch that only people can bring.
I believe that every person has a unique talent. Everyone has something special inside them. But talent only appears when you trust people and appreciate their work, and make them feel comfortable sharing their thoughts without fear of judgment. People need to feel included not just given a to-do list.
you will see the difference. they will feel valued. And when they feel valued, they won’t just complete tasks they will bring passion, creativity, and real commitment.
People need to understand the goal:
When people understand the purpose behind your goals and have a clear vision, they are more likely to collaborate and contribute their own ideas. they will work with more energy and creativity. If they don’t, it will just feel like another task.
Problems should be solved together:
If there’s a challenge, involve the team in fixing it. They will not only find solutions but will also feel that they are part of something bigger, something that matters.
Give your team space to learn:
No one grows in an environment where they are afraid of making mistakes. If you allow people to make mistakes and learn from them, they will grow faster. I believe the best way to learn is by trying, failing, and improving. But what’s more important is that the leader creates a work environment where mistakes are seen as part of the learning process. When people feel this, they learn much faster.
In my opinion, success is not just about finishing a project on time and within budget. The real success is what the team gains from it. The real win is when your team walks away stronger, more experienced, and more connected than before. So, involve your team. Keep them engaged. When people feel included, they don’t just work they care. And when they care, they give their best.
What’s one thing you do to make your team feel valued?
