Shownotes Transcript

In this episode of We Got This, Lech Guzowski interviews Stephen ‘Shed’ Shedletzky, an expert on leadership, communication, and business strategy. They discuss Shed’s recently published book "Speak Up Culture: When Leaders Truly Listen," where he explores the concept of 'speak up culture' in a corporate setting. Shed discusses the role of effective communication, psychological safety, and leaders truly listening to their teams in creating successful businesses.

Key Takeaways:

  • a genuine 'Speak Up Culture' is not about encouraging noise or endless opinions but promoting constructed dialogues that inspire growth.

  • What it really means to “fail forward” and how to make sure your organisation’s mistakes are productive ones

  • The importance of aligning jobs with people's strengths and directing your team’s energies towards their strengths

  • How to manage feedback, including anonymous feedback. Why it is better to have SOME feedback instead of NO feedback
