Have you ever found yourself feeling uncomfortable, or disagreeing, with something you are required to do in the workplace? Have you found yourself in a situation in which you wanted to say something, to object to a proposed policy or course of action but instead remained silent? In this workshop we will examine why people are reluctant to speak up; why people hesitate to disagree, to question, to challenge. Full consensus leads to complacency in organizations. To remain vital, organizations need to create an environment in which employees feel safe and respected in expressing their concerns.
