Stop Deciding Alone: How Real Leaders Co-Create with Their Teams

YouTube Description:
Are you unintentionally shutting your people out of the decisions that affect them most? In this practical leadership micro-lesson, Selena Rezvani shows how small shifts—like inviting feedback on a project timeline before it’s “set in stone”—can massively increase buy-in, ownership, and creativity on your team.

Selena shares a simple before-and-after: you can announce, “Here’s the timeline,” or you can bring your team into an early draft and ask, “Any thoughts or ideas before we put this in stone?” That one move transforms a directive into a dialogue. She also describes the power of intentionally staffing multigenerational, cross-level teams on culture-shaping projects, drawing from her own early experience in management consulting where she, as a junior team member, worked alongside senior leaders to improve workplace culture.
