Interview Insights
Top 3 Takeaways from this Interview
- Leaders who want their team to solve more problems or to bring more ideas need to provide clarity about where they’re headed and what matters most.
- Over time, solutions-focused leadership behaviors will shift the culture from safe silence to consistent contribution and give organizations a distinct competitive advantage over others who allow employees’ best ideas to remain hidden.
- Building a culture of consistent contribution takes time, but with a deliberate focus on your leadership development and systems, you can help managers feel confident to ask and reluctant employees feel more comfortable to share.
