Permission to Speak Freely: How the Best Leaders Cultivate a Culture of Candor

What if people felt confident communicating what they are really thinking without fearing a negative response from their colleagues or boss? What if common phrases in organizations were I'm not sure, I need clarification, and I have an idea? Permission to Speak Freely explains the inhibitors that cause candid communication to feel unsafe and then provides tools to help leaders overcome those inhibitors so that a culture of candor can be cultivated. This book is a letter to leaders-filled with experience, research, and practicality-that implores all persons in positions of power to create a work environment characterized by honesty and trust that inspires everyone to share fearlessly, speak freely, and come forward with new ideas.
