Leaders should consider the opinions and ideas of group members when making a decision, as well as any relevant facts or figures related to the issue. They should consider potential consequences of a decision on both themselves and the group members, to try to balance outcomes. The leader should actively encourage open dialogue amongst the members, and take into account their feedback before making an effective decision. They should remain neutral when leading discussions or providing directional cues where appropriate. Additionally, good leaders practice self-awareness and are willing to identify strengths and weaknesses which can help improve their performance in influencing group decisions. 

Group leaders have more control over their own behaviour which can influence member behaviour as well - being friendly, assertive or authoritative can all be strategies used when influencing opinions in groups. Similarly, demonstrating trust through allowing others to engage in conversation without intervening, supporting different ideas with logical counterpoints or acknowledging valid points from other members are techniques that can be implemented while steering conversations towards desired conclusions among group members towards desirable outcomes. A good leader also provides positive reinforcement towards those who participate with recognition for effort - this further encourages further contributions from other group participants..

Leaders should consider how their words, actions and behaviors will influence those in the group before making a decision. They should communicate the purpose for why a certain decision was made, establish trust by providing relevant data and factual evidence to back up decisions, as well as taking into account varying perspectives of each member involved. Finally, leaders should strive to create a sense of inclusion and collaboration by offering opportunities for input from all group members in order to reach collective buy-in.
