Watch the recording of “The Business Imperative of a Safe and Seen Culture” below:
Do you feel safe being seen for who you truly are at work? How much of yourself do you edit, minimize or hide to fit in?
Now, consider those questions on a corporate scale, and ask yourself: How much energy, initiative and ingenuity are lost when people edit themselves to feel safe? We have no idea because people don’t share their best ideas or take unnecessary risks when they feel threatened.
Cultures that subtly—or blatantly—use fear-based leadership tactics to compel compliance are an expensive relic of a time when we needed people to do what they were told to keep companies running like well-oiled machines.
