Just yesterday I was conducting a training session at the company I am doing work for and was emphasizing communication and encouraging the team members to be creative and step forward with ideas. This company, like so many others, talks a big game when it comes to openness and getting feedback when in reality people nervous about stepping forward as they are usually shot down or labeled meddlers. Creating an atmosphere where the employees see themselves as coaches for each other and having team leaders who cultivate that approach will make it easier for ideas to be expressed. I am often frustrated by the hesitation people have to ask questions and offer up ideas. It stifles growth and creativity. It also makes people uneasy and overly cautious.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08327802898837530346noreply@blogger.com
