The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth Hardcover – 28 Dec. 2018

A colleague recommended it, and wow, what a read—such insight. I understand the topic of psychological safety so much better. The examples show much of what is right and wrong about business and work-life today in the 21st century—an essential read for all managers and business owners.

I am an owner of a company, and school principal, and wanted to learn more about organisational psychology, and to understand HR better than I do. It's an easily read book, and the author develops and maintains interest is through reference to real life examples of workplace and corporate practice in the vein of 'The Innovator's Dilemma''. It's not one of those 'Can't put down' books (which, along with being a little repetitive, is why I gave it 4 stars not 5), but for a layperson, not formally read in psychology, and interested in either making your company work, or understanding the toxic environment you may be working in (read bullying), then this is certainly a very worthwhile read.

Awesome book! A must read for any leader

This book is absolutely outstanding. Time after time, the examples give deep insight into the perils of fear-based, command and control cultures that can bring down an organisation. But this isn't just a list of examples good and bad. The author builds a model and a toolkit guide - explaining how to implement a culture of psychological safety in which people speak up. If you ever worry whether people are telling you what's really going on - this is the help you need. I would give it 6 stars if allowed.

Essential reading for any organisation serious about building diverse teams in order to innovate for a wonderfully diverse world.

An extremely well-researched book, I felt it was missing some pragmatic tools and techniques for a practitioner to implement into the workforce

The book reads well and its examples are useful for those relatively new to organisational leadership but it reiterates a narrative that has been around for a very long time. For me it doesn't offer anything new and/or thought provoking.

Easy read and well constructed. I would like to see a version specifically for medical professionals. I would like to understand a bit more about the "how".
