<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Conquer the most essential adaptation to the knowledge economy</b></p> <p><i>The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth </i>offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent--but 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. </p> <p>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.</p> <ul> <li>Explore the link between psychological safety and high performance</li> <li>Create a culture where it's "safe" to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakes</li> <li>Nurture the level of engagement and candor required in today's knowledge economy</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Follow a step-by-step framework for establishing psychological safety in your team or organization</li> </ul> <p>Shed the yes-men approach and step into real performance. Fertilize creativity, clarify goals, achieve accountability, redefine leadership, and much more. <i>The Fearless Organization</i> helps you bring about this most critical transformation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Written for leaders and teams, <i> The Fearless Organization</i> is a practical guide for creating cultures where knowledge and innovation flourish because people feel safe to contribute their ideas. <p>While many companies are investing in talent to compete in today's knowledge economy, the best talent is wasted if people are not able to speak up. The human instinct to "fit in" and "go along" works against the continuous flow of new ideas, new solutions, and critical thought necessary for companies to stay innovative. While not every idea will hit a home run, an organization's culture must not suppress, silence, ridicule or intimidate. Based on Amy Edmondson's 20 years of research, this invaluable book helps companies tackle the people side of the innovation equation to create workplaces that are safe, fearless and empowered to win with unbridled ideas. <p><i>The Fearless Organization</i> offers a step-by-step framework for establishing psychological safety within a team and an organization. It is filled with illustrative scenario-based examples and provides a clear path forward for implementing a culture that thrives on the free expression of ideas and nurturing engagement. <p><i>The Fearless Organization</i> can give leaders the confidence they need to unleash individual and collective talent and create the type of work environments that helps everyone succeed and their organizations to thrive.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>AMY C.
