Teams and organizations with speak-up cultures are not only more innovative, engaged, and adaptable, they are also better-performing than their peers.
Creating a speak-up culture is crucial for all lines of work, not only those where the results of failure are clearly life and death. A speak-up culture—where people feel it is both psychologically
safe
and
worth it
to share their
ideas, feedback, concerns, disagreements, and mistakes—is vital for any team or organization that wishes to thrive.
We know that our relationship with our boss has a greater impact on our health than that of our relationship with our family doctor*.
Leadership
in and of itself—in all industries—is a
life-feeding or life-depleting line of work.
In this book, we explore what a speak-up culture is, what the role of leadership is in fostering and maintaining one, and how you can advance your leadership journey through your actions. No matter what stage of your career you are in, if you believe in the value and power of enabling others to use their voice,
this book is for you.
