Dr. Taunya Lowe and Elaine Lin Hering discuss the concept of "unlearning silence" in organizations, emphasizing the hidden costs of silence, such as inefficiency, disengagement, and turnover. She highlights the importance of leaders understanding their team's communication preferences and using inclusive meeting designs. Hering also critiques the "open door policy" and advocates for clear decision-making roles. She recommends her book "Unlearning Silence" and two others by Jen Kim and Rosalyn Chow, which address leadership and sponsorship. The conversation also touches on the impact of silence on mental health and the need for leaders to be aware of their actions' effects on their teams.
