Promoting a Culture of Voice Over Silence
Encouraging people to speak up at work often falls short, with only half of employees reporting always sharing their thoughts despite being urged to. Instead of simply telling people to speak up, leaders need to examine how they inadvertently silence others, fostering a culture of silence. By considering how communication flows and meeting structures may stifle certain voices, workplaces can optimize conditions for diverse viewpoints to be heard.
