Title: Permission to Speak Freely: How the Best Leaders Cultivate a Culture of Candor Author: Doug Crandall, Matt Kincaid Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 23 minutes Release date: March 20, 2017 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: What if some of the most powerful words in your organization were 'I'm not sure,' 'I need help,' and 'I have a new idea'? Imagine the potential for innovation, connection, and results if your employees felt courageous enough to say anything to you. What if people could simply communicate what they are really thinking without fear of having a bad idea? When you are in a leadership position, your people should feel comfortable to learn from and brainstorm with you. It is your responsibility to create an authentic environment characterized by honesty and trust that encourages everyone to share ideas. When your people don't speak up, it's not their problem-it's yours. Building a culture in which people are able to say anything opens up pathways to innovation that would otherwise not exist. Ultimately, this book is a letter to leaders-filled with experience, research, and practicality. Peering inside a vast array of organizations for the past decade, the authors have seen time and again that leaders are failing to draw out ideas from their introverts and, at the same time, shutting up their extroverts. Inhibitors in organizations make candid communication unsafe. As a leader, you must recognize and acknowledge these complex dynamics and then work tirelessly to inspire your team to speak freely.
