All the reasons you need to keep your big trap shut! I think that there is too much emphasis on us NOT being offended and NOT speaking up when we are offended.

Psychological Safety Singular Framework
It seems to me there are two approaches to creating a Psychological Safety Framework: Describe all the behaviors that team members should and shouldn’t do and what the team leaders should and shouldn’t do to enable these identified behaviors. Or Propose a singular framework for objecting to misbehavior that team members and team leaders could... Continue Reading →
THE PRECAUTION!
