Leaders create teams committed to the mission. To increase the level of commitment, leaders seek input and delegate appropriately.
We involve team members from the start and actively solicit contributions—not just strong backs but also ideas and observations about the work environment. We make people responsible, give them enough authority to accomplish their assignment, and hold them accountable. Although we take a risk when we delegate, the resulting ownership far outweighs the risk.
Involvement is the foundation for commitment.[Click here to download a copy of Leading in the Wildland Fire Service.]
