Speaking out at work can be difficult. It can feel awkward. It can cause conflict. But as a manager, it's important for you to feel empowered; to have your voice heard.
And developing the confidence to express your ideas, concerns and suggestions can lead to improved decision-making, innovation and problem-solving in the workplace.
It also helps to create an environment that encourages your team members to speak out, so you can tap into their diverse perspectives – enabling you to foster a culture where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best.
You hold the key to unlocking the full potential of you and your team. |
