Resumen del Editor

If you listen, they will speak

We know the impacts of poor leadership: lackluster performance, missed opportunities, deleterious cultures, and, in some cases, disaster. While these issues are all too common, leaders also possess an immense opportunity. They can create a speak-up culture, one in which people feel it is both safe and worth it to share their ideas, concerns, disagreements, and even mistakes—all for the betterment of the organization.

Speak-Up Culture is for leaders at all levels― from senior executives who believe in putting people and purpose first; to mid-level supervisors who wish to lead better and nurture the voice of their people; to aspiring leaders who want to uncover their strengths and better provide support to those in their span of care. All these leaders share a common desire to know a better way to behave as a leader. They want to operate in a team and culture where people are engaged and willingly speak up, for the success of the whole organization.

Stephen Shedletzky has focused his career on helping leaders listen to and nurture the voices of other—to foster an environment where people feel heard and that they, their opinion, and their contributions matter. Speak-Up Culture shows you how creating such an environment is the responsibility and the advantage of every leader who wants to be great at leading, and who wants to create a better version of humanity while they do. Because the bottom line is that organizations with speak-up cultures are safer, more innovative, more engaged, and better-performing than their peers.

Stellar!

This is one of the best, most relatable books of read/listened to EVER! It reminded me of important lessons I’d learned, but forgotten. It also reinforces how many bad leaders are in said role, but I’ll equipped to embrace it! Thank you for an amazing book!

Beyond just good leadership

Shed uses lived experience - his, and others - to demonstrate the value of building trusting teams. These aren't a series of motivation posters all thrown together; the lessons in this great book show the value of trust and communication in any industry and provide roadmaps to building that trust. Shed's narration is warm, engaging and clear. Highly recommend!

Clarity, truthfulness, and storytelling!

I’ve been reading several books on organizational culture and leadership during the last year, and I'd like to pick one as it stands out for its clarity, truthfulness, and storytelling. The book Speak-Up Culture: When Leaders Truly Listen, People Step Up, written by Stephen Shedletzky is a great path to understanding why fearless teams are the stem for high-performance organizations in all senses.

Highly recommended!!!

Lots of takeaways

This was a great book with lots of little takeaways that can be implemented immediately.

One of the best books I've read on Culture

This is going to be a go-to book when it comes to Culture. He goes beyond the surface-level “great culture” that companies strive to create.

He's really big on leadership, but more so that it's a behavior rather than a title. You will love the stories he uses to drive home the point.

A must-read for leaders and organizations

Shed provides a comprehensive and relatable guide on the importance of creating a Speak Up culture and how to create one yourself as a leader. He also references many other thought leaders in the space which beautifully ties concepts together to be a well-rounded leader showing up in support of your people. Highly recommend!
