Helping your team take on decision making

Today’s question comes from Michelle Tackie-Obende 

How can I make my team feel comfortable to make more decisions themselves?https://www.linkedin.com/in/mtackie/

Short version: If you are serious about distributing decisions to your team then agree together:What decisions need to be madeand which one’s can be delegated initially to allow people to test the water or built their confidence.If you delegate a decision try not to interfere unless you are asked for help - but do let your team there you are there to help if needed. Enable an ongoing dialogue with your people around what they are happy with or what works for them and encourage them to ask questions around why and how you make your decisions.Share your lesson learnt and failures with the team - be as open and honest and as transparent as you can be.
