BSBTWK502 Manage Team Effectiveness
A manager needs to use as many methods as possible to involve the team in decision making and planning. Communication channels need to be kept open and flexible, so that the team can voice their opinions and the manager can give and seek information, ideas and feedback.

It appears to be common sense to involve a team in effective decisions but so often managers dictate what their team should do and it really shows from a HR perspective, how ineffective and disengaging this type of management style is. Sometimes the team may not be able to input into a decision but that can also be clearly communicated so the team is still empowered and engaged.

It certainly seems more common in todays workplaces that decisions are made without involving those that may be in a position to add value to the discussion first. Whether it be because of ignorance that this is a good idea, lack of time to consider various ideas, or management styles and personalities that don’t allow for it, it’s a shame that this is producing so many employees that now decide not engage and contribute. Any change in management style that focusses on including the team and their ideas when its possible to do so must be a good thing.

Involving the team in decision making is very beneficial as it allows some insight into their thought patterns and gives a manager a chance to get to know staff members better. Insight can also be gained into the job knowledge each member possesses, letting a manager assess where training resources can be better utilised. The prospects for advancement of the team members becomes obvious as strong leaders emerge when they feel empowered and valued.

When a manger involves all members of the team it enhances team morale and productivity. Provides and promotes innovation and ideas that the manager may not have thought off. Giving a range of ideas that will benefit the team’s performance in which the team has contributed and they feel valued.

Very true Denai, when the team is able to contribute you have the advantage of a variety of ideas from different perspectives and this provides great opportunities for leaders to use and explore options.

I feel the advantages of involving each member of the team are many. I would like to list a few below (these are from my own experience as a team leader):
1) New ideas which can be very innovative.
2) Improves team and individual morale.
3) Encourages individual loyalty and commitment to the success of the organisation.
4) Opens communication between team members and management resulting in increased performance.
