It may sound counter-intuitive, but being too hands on can give away your intentions. Instead of directly commanding people to do something, it is best to frame decision making in a way that implies they are free and encouraged to make their own choices with your guidance and experience in mind. Give people space and room to breathe, providing support from the sidelines instead of micromanaging from the spotlight. Letting people think they are coming up with ideas on their own will help you become an unseen influence in their decisions without them knowing it.

As the leader of a small group, you can influence the daily decisions of your members without them noticing by establishing Group Norms at the start. Setting up ground rules such as communication protocols or problem solving strategies means that any future decisions need to take these norms into consideration. By staying on top of Group dynamics and consistently evaluating how each member feels engaged or frustrated, you can subtly adjust decision making processes to increase everyone’s comfort and productivity in an organic way. Providing recognition and feedback based on contributions also creates stronger connections between group members which allows for more successful collaborations.
