Receive Your Copy The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety In The Workplace For Learning, Innovation, And Growth Assembled By Amy C. Edmondson Offered In Printable Format

am an owner of a company, and school principal, and wanted to learn about organisational psychology, and to understand HR better than I do.
It's an easily read book, and the author develops and maintains interest is through reference to real life examples of workplace and corporate practice in the vein of 'The Innovator's Dilemma''.
It's not one of those 'Can't put down' books which, along with being a little repetitive, is why I gave itnot, but for a layperson, not formally read in psychology, and interested in either making your company work, or understanding the toxic environment you may be working in read bullying, then this is certainly a very worthwhile read.
I work in an organisation that thinks it values everyone, and aims to have an open and honest culture, but there's variability in how that gets implemented and there are still knee jerk threats made about "if anyone does that again, they'll be" So even in a relatively mature organisation with a generally good safety culture, and good intentions, there is still lots for each individual to understand about the impacts and implications of what they say and do.
I'm lucky in that at least my organisation and industry know where they ought to be heading, there are others where the philosophy in this book will be completely eye opening.
Read it, use it and share it, This book is absolutely outstanding, Time after time, the examples give deep insight into the perils of fear based, command and control cultures that can bring down an organisation.
But this isn't just a list of examples good and bad, The author builds a model and a toolkit guide explaining how to implement a culture of psychological safety in which people speak up.
If you ever worry whether people are telling you what's really going on this is the help you need.
I would give itif allowed, Superficialword cases, with no depth or insider perspective, cobbled together around quite general pointers, Exceptionally important topic but content could be condensed into a blog post with little or no loss of meaning.
Deep familiarity with a few of the cases suggests a substantial misreading of what was really going on, with trends that often reversed themselves within a few years.
Overall impression is that author uncritically reproduces executive talking points on what they did, without ironically

investigating other stakeholders experiences.
A really fascinating book and an important read to understand how to engage staff in a positive and inclusive way.
I recommend this for any people leading and managing teams as a way to create a space to get genuine feedback and make employees opinions feel valued.

With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talentbut what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind The traditional culture of "fitting in" and "going along" spells doom in the knowledge economy.
Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule or intimidate.
Not every idea is good, and yes there are stupid questions, and yes dissent can slow things down, but talking through these things is an essential part of the creative process.
People must be allowed to voice half finished thoughts, ask questions from left field, and brainstorm out loud it creates a culture in which a minor flub or momentary lapse is no big deal, and where actual mistakes are owned and corrected, and where the next left field idea could be the next big thing.
 

This book explores this culture of psychological safety, and provides a blueprint for bringing it to life.
The road is sometimes bumpy, but succinct and informative scenario based explanations provide a clear path forward to constant learning and healthy innovation.
