Leaders often have a hard time getting their employees to speak up honestly about what’s really going on in their organizations. Far too often, employees willfully choose to self-censor out of a fear of negative repercussions to their career or social standing. Yet, when employees do choose to speak up, research suggests that a host of positive things can happen, including higher employee engagement and job satisfaction, greater learning, enhanced innovation and creativity, fewer accidents and safer workplaces, and even better unit financial performance.
