Speaking Up in leadership

You voice your view with confidence and stand your ground.

In leadership

• You say what you think clearly, and your team knows where you stand.
• You defend your team and your ideas in front of other areas and senior leaders.
• You face problems head-on instead of letting them grow.

What to keep an eye on

• Your directness can intimidate and make others stop sharing their views.
• You may win the argument and lose the team's commitment.

A first practice

Ask before you state

In your next meeting, ask two questions before giving your position.
