"Creating an inclusive environment in diverse teams is so important! 👏 One strategy I find particularly effective is assigning a "meeting moderator" whose role is to ensure balanced participation. This helps prevent dominant voices from overshadowing others and gives quieter team members space to contribute. Another tip: Start meetings by setting a tone of openness—acknowledge the value of diverse perspectives right at the beginning.

You first need to build an environment where people feel safe to express themselves. Inclusivity is good but you also need to understand your team and how each individual member best expresses themselves as not all like to be vocal in big group environments so understand the best and most effective way to allow everyone to have a voice to ensure all ideas and views are considered.

The most important thing I try to follow is I don’t go first or don’t provide my opinion first, otherwise I set the bias and tone for the rest of the meeting and many team members who are more of the quiet types would not bring out their opinion at all. I also ask everyone to be as candid as they want, and bring up as crazy of an idea as they want without the fear of being laughed upon.

Not to be trite, but by respecting and valuing them. Common courtesy, professional interaction, etc. If you don't value them for SOMETHING, they shouldn't be on your team, so hopefully that solves itself. I think simply showing that you recognize them as actual people with goals and ambitions, rather than just "resources" will do the trick 99% of the time. Show an interest in their professional needs. I think exactly what form this takes depends on the person, their role, etc. Figuring that out and realizing it is part of a leader's job. Maybe the most important part. Just avoid treating people like expendable tools.

Being intentional about opening the floor and providing a safe space for all to speak. Listening to comments and addressing them directly for additional conversation or implementation. As a leader, I practice not swaying opinions by gathering and considering them teams thoughts before providing my input on a subject matter
