Episode 10: “Courageous cultures”: How to build high performance, highly engaged cultures

Since the onset of COVID-19,people are more anxious than ever about
their current employment situation. For those who are fortunate to
have jobs, they want to keep them. They’re less likely to open up
& share ideas that could help their firm for fear speaking up
could peg them as complainers. In this episode I interview
leadership experts, Karin Hurt & David Dye who devote their
practice to helping leaders build cultures where people feel safe
to speak up. Karin and David help leaders achieve breakthrough
results with easy to implement strategies that get people to share
their ideas & become more skilled at critical thinking. They’re
