Speak-Up Culture: When Leaders Truly Listen, People Step Up

Great leaders don’t listen up, they listen down. We know the impacts of poor leadership: lackluster performance, missed opportunities, deleterious cultures, and even disaster. Yet, these issues are all too common. But leaders also have an immense opportunity. They can create a speak-up culture, one in which everyone feels they matter and thus steps up to share concerns, insights, ideas, and even dissent—all for the betterment of the organization. Speak-Up Culture is for leaders at all levels— from senior executives who believe in humble leadership, to mid-level supervisors who haven’t had formal leadership training but want to ensure that the people they’re accountable to have a voice; to aspiring leaders who want to uncover their strengths and better provide support to those in their span of care. All these leaders share a common need to know a better way to behave as a leader. They want to operate in a team and culture where everyone is engaged and willingly speaks up, for the success of the whole organization. Stephen Shedletzky has focused his career on helping leaders listen to and nurture the voices of their employees, to foster an environment where people feel heard and that they, their opinion, and their contributions matter. Because the bottom line is that organizations with speak-up cultures are safer, more innovative, more enjoyable, and better-performing than their peers.
