When proposing a solution, if the person in charge just says no and walks away, it will not make me want to propose other solutions. Growth and leadership thrive on dialogue, not dismissal. People develop confidence, creativity, and accountability when their ideas are heard, challenged thoughtfully, and responded to with respect. A strong leader understands that even when an idea isn’t right, the conversation around it matters—because engagement fuels learning, trust encourages initiative, and openness creates an environment where people feel safe to contribute, improve, and lead themselves.
