The Fearless Organization

I led a book club at my workplace reading this book. We had 30 leaders commit to reading and had three discussions throughout the summer that proved insightful and acted as great team-building and trust-creating exercises. The general concepts of psychological safety are ones that successful organizations and leaders must foster and cascade if they are to reach their full potential. Be curious, not judgmental. Reframe failure. Eliminate fear as a rate-limiting or mitigating factor. Definitely good and thoughtful concepts. If I am able to take one or two nuggets from this book and apply them practically to my team, I believe this concept will begin to form a foundation for our communication and ultimately lead to greater success.
