How Intent-Based Leadership® helps people feel safe to speak up

Many of the leaders we work with are frustrated that their people don’t speak up and share their ideas or issues that they see.

“Why do I always find out later?” and “Why are our team members so passive in meetings and workshops?” are questions we often hear.

The problem is two-fold:

• #1 Blame our brains. The bias to protect ourselves from possible danger keeps us from speaking up.
• #2 Lack of psychological safety in our work environments reinforces point #1.

Watch this Leadership Nudge® based on the research of leading psychological safety expert Amy C. Edmondson to understand what happens in our brains that keeps us from speaking up, and get some quick tips on what you can do about it.
