Do employees at your company speak up and regularly engage in dialog that helps to shape strong results? And when they do, does the dialog go beyond merely ratifying what you as the leader have shared?

If the answers are no, you might be experiencing employee silence -- where employees withhold information because they perceive a threat. In driving greater employee involvement and shared responsibility for business results, leaders need to be on the lookout for when and why employees stay silent.

Our strategic partner, Dr. Rob Bogosian of RVB Associates, is an authority on employee silence. He discusses the issue in this podcast and explores how facilitative leaders are best equipped to address it.
