Recommendation

In 2018 and 2019, two Boeing airplanes crashed after takeoff, killing everyone on board both flights. Stephen Shedletzky explains how Boeing could have prevented those fatalities by developing a culture where employees felt safe speaking up about their concerns. Shedletzky outlines how to build such a culture by selecting and supporting the best leaders, and how to scale up by attracting and retaining the right people. Whether helping avoid tragedy or boosting productivity, Shedletzky shows how speak-up cultures and the leaders who nurture them make the world a better place.

Take-Aways

  • In speak-up cultures, employees feel sharing ideas and concerns with leadership is safe and worthwhile.
  • Speak-up cultures are good for business and society. 
  • Fear and apathy prevent speak-up cultures from developing.
