Participative leadership is a democratic leadership style where team members are intentionally involved in making decisions. This doesn’t mean you lose control. You’re still leading—but you’re opening the door for input, discussion, and even shared decision-making when appropriate.

When no one owns the work, the process, the outcome—everything falls apart. Missed deadlines. Finger-pointing. Excuses. But when a team truly owns the mission? They don’t just complete the work—they care about each other AND the outcome. Ownership isn’t about assigning blame. It’s about building pride, purpose, and shared responsibility. There are three components to building ownership within your team: Accountability, Trust, and Team Work.

If your team doesn't trust you, your title doesn't matter. People don’t follow position. They follow people they believe in. And that belief? It's built on trust. Real trust isn’t earned by grand gestures. It’s built brick by brick—through how you show up every single day. Research has shown that three components that come together to help you build trust with your team, colleagues, or bosses. Competence, Character, and Caring.
