Overview
Creating work cultures where team members feel safe and seen means having the language and tools to have courageous conversations. Current data suggests that if workplaces do not have a culture where team members feel safe to discuss their fears and feelings, leaders will squander 90 percent of their time managing the behaviors that are a result of not speaking about those fears and feelings. The unspoken is never benign.
In a year like 2020, and into much of the same in 2021, emotions are high, opinions divided, the workload great, and the fatigue of stress can feel overwhelming. Creating courageous and healthy cultures during this time, especially at work, means getting uncomfortable, feeling our feelings, speaking the unspoken, owning the stories we make up and choosing courage.
When we build a culture in the skills, tools and language of courage, we have cultures where our leaders and employees can show up as their full selves. In these courageous cultures, creativity is not only welcomed, it flourishes, innovation grows and the skills in safety, production, innovation, lean principles and much more not only feel possible, they are sustainable to create real change.
