Episode notes
Activism is Subjective
- Be aware of your own assumptions about activism.
- Consider how your colleagues perceive activism to respond mindfully.
The Optimism Bubble
- Leaders often overestimate how much employees speak up.
- They also overestimate their approachability and listening skills, creating an "optimism bubble."
Active Listening
- Don't rely solely on surveys; actively listen to your employees.
- Show up with "ears wide open" to understand their concerns directly.
