Create emotionally-safe cultures by learning how to harness conflicting & diverse views...
Whistleblowing occurs when people aren't and can't be listened to. We all, individually and organisationally, possess biases which can unintentionally silence alternative views and create cultures where conflict is avoided, ultimately leading to the emergence of problems. Sometimes tragic in their consequences. The world's most successful organisations proactively encourage the surfacing of difference, often going to great lengths to unearth and harness divergent views and perceptions.
Does your organisation understand the risks of not seeking and welcoming diverse perceptions? Does qualitative and quantitative information flow freely to those who need it? Is the need to manage risk and reputation balanced with a genuine desire and capacity to enable, encourage, and harness conflicting views? I can help leaders:
-
Recognise and capitalise on the value that differing views and perceptions can bring to an organisation,
-
Learn how to create the conditions in which people feel safe enough to share their views openly,
-
Implement multi-channel listening to seek, find, face, and embrace the uncomfortable.
