Conquer the most essential adaptation to the knowledge economy The Fearless Organization:
Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning Innovation and Growth offers
practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern
economy. With so much riding on innovation creativity and spark it is essential to attract
and retain quality talent--but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their
mind? The traditional culture of fitting in and going along spells doom in the knowledge
economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas new challenges and critical
thought and the interpersonal climate must not suppress silence ridicule or intimidate. Not
every idea is good and yes there are stupid questions and yes dissent can slow things down

mistakes are owned and corrected and where the next left-field idea could be the next big
thing. This book explores this culture of psychological safety and provides a blueprint for
bringing it to life. The road is sometimes bumpy but succinct and informative scenario-based
explanations provide a clear path forward to constant learning and healthy innovation. *
