Think about your leadership style - whether you inspire innovation in others by assigning tasks equitably, based on skill, preference, or randomly, determine your approach and speak to its merits. Describe the methods you used to incentivize: praise and recognition, competitions, or rewards/bonuses.

The ability to promote a team member's strengths and avert exploiting weaknesses is integral to effective leadership. An employee that has a general sense of accomplishment will be more effective at their job. Avoid examples of bribery (such as bringing in donuts) or micromanaging. Inspiring innovation is key.

In my current role. I encourage my reportees to express any idea that they have and praise them for sharing. If the idea didn't seem feasible, eventually, the individual still feels happy and recognized for coming up with an idea. If the idea is feasible, he gets great credit for that and sees the implementation and the results.

Good! When revising, focus on adding detail to how you encourage input. Do you provide a forum? Do you try to implement ideas so others feel encouraged to continuing to contribute?
