Promoting Independent Thinking

內容大綱
Speaking Up at Work is intended for individuals who fear speaking up about their ideas or have done so but are frustrated by their lack of success, It provides stories of others who have been a "lone voice" or an "independent thinker" and their attempts at change-both successful and unsuccessful. It offers insight into effective tactics and pitfalls to avoid. It also offers various tools and tactics to leaders who want to get the best ideas from their teams. The book explores the individual characteristics and situational conditions that lead an individual to develop an independent point of view and to openly voice this view regarding an organizational performance issue. The implications are to better understand how to encourage independent thinking and to understand the personality characteristics and developmental experiences that foster this ability. The author conducted over 50 interviews with individuals about numerous "voice events" throughout their working lives. Chapter 5 explores ways to promote independent thinking in a team and organization. Unlike prior chapters, it assumes one is doing so from a position of formal authority in their group and/or organization. It explores a wide range of techniques and mindsets for avoiding groupthink and surfacing the best thinking within a team.
