To compete in a volatile and changing world, organizations must tap into the full creativity, expertise and passion of every employee. But this is not possible when people are focused only on “fitting in” and “going along with things”. In such an environment key information is not shared, ideas are squashed, errors multiply, and people don’t learn from failures.
This facilitated program provides the antidote, psychological safety, in which people feel comfortable enough to speak their minds, share insights, and identify and correct mistakes.
It equips your leaders with the necessary skills to create a environment where people can identify and solve their failures, innovate together, and contribute to the collective good of the organization.
