Jim Detert: Cultivating your courage

Lancefield on the Line

You feel there’s something important to say at work. An idea that could make a big difference. Or a behaviour that’s not good. But you’re not sure whether you should because there isn’t enough psychological safety. Perhaps there’s toxicity in the culture or a strong prevailing way of doing things. You calling something out might be risky to your standing and your career. What does it take to be courageous to speak up about something important? What strategies and tactics can you use?

Professor Jim Detert is one of the world’s leading authorities on what it takes to be courageous and ethical at work.

In this podcast find out:
★ How much organisational context and performance influences how courageous you are.

★ About the impact of not speaking up.

★ How the shift to hybrid workplaces influences how courageous we are.

★ What stops people taking action.

★ How to take your first steps in being more courageous.

★ What it takes to stay curious.

★ How to be courageous with competence.

And, as ever, Jim shares his own habits for high performance and the impact he wants to have on the world.
