Psychological Safety: Practical Insight for Leaders with Amy Edmondson

Nobody wants to be the skunk at the picnic, right? But here’s the thing: what if speaking up and letting your voice be heard could alter the entire trajectory of a big business decision – or even, of the organization itself?

Sometimes fear holds us back, yes.

But it's not often that we say, "Oh, gee, I don't feel safe speaking up in this team."?

It's more like:?"I don't know, everybody else seems to like it... and who am I? I don't want to be unpleasant. I’m new here. Maybe this isn't really my area of expertise."

If you’ve been in leadership for any length of time, I’m sure you’ve heard – or can relate to – those statements.

Join me for a fresh article where I’m sharing golden nuggets of leadership wisdom gleaned from a great podcast I did with the renowned Amy Edmondson, the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School. Plus, we’ll give you practical tips you can implement in real-time at your organization starting today to make sure everyone’s voice is heard.

Oh, and if you know of a colleague who might benefit from reading this, I’d appreciate it if you shared the link with them.
