It shows those you lead that you’re someone who understands their challenges, values their efforts, and is willing to champion their needs. Plus, with more resources at your disposal, your team can work more efficiently, innovate more effectively, and deliver higher-quality results, directly contributing to the bottom line.

When employees at every level speak up, they circulate local knowledge, expand the universe of useful ideas, and prevent collective tunnel vision. And not infrequently, minority views turn into novel solutions.
