The question
is, "what are people learning in your workspace?"
Often people get mixed messages about what is expected of
them at work. They are asked to take risks, offer new ideas,
make decisions on their own, yet, in practice, they may
observe others suffering negative consequences for taking
risks and being creative. Soon they learn to align with
the values they care about most (e.g., job security, emotional
safety, freedom from judgment) rather than attain the organizations'
espoused values. We work with leaders who truly care about
realizing their organizational values while engaging their
top talent in reaching their business goals. We collaborate
with leaders who want to ensure that their workspace is
a positive learning space.
