What does the involving strategy focus on?

The involving strategy emphasizes the importance of collaboration, particularly with employees who may be resistant to change or new initiatives. By adopting an involving strategy, organizations aim to engage these employees in discussions and decision-making processes that impact their work and the overall workplace environment. This approach recognizes that resistance often stems from a lack of understanding or engagement, and by involving those employees, organizations can foster a sense of ownership and commitment to changes.

Collaboration in this context may include soliciting feedback, understanding concerns, and integrating employee input into planning and implementation processes. This not only helps mitigate resistance but also encourages a more inclusive workplace culture where employees feel valued and heard.

In contrast, focusing solely on new employees or directing inexperienced employees does not leverage the potential benefits of collaboration and may overlook the contributions of those who are already part of the organization. Evaluating employee performance, while important, is not the primary focus of the involving strategy, which centers around engagement and collaboration rather than assessment.
