Relationships across a team and the operational norms teams follow when they meet have a direct effect on dignity-honoring elements like recognition, inclusion, independence, fairness, and understanding. Signals from managers indicate what’s important, whether all voices matter, how recognition is delivered, and how workplace stress is handled.

As always, the manager sets the tone and leads by example. From how meetings are set up, to who is asked to lead, to who gets recognition, and who handles “housework,” the manager has the opportunity to ensure inclusive treatment and that the team functions better because of the ideas and perspectives of all.
