Love this! Finding the right way to challenge others is key!

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Behind many organisational failures are groups of people who knew bad things were happening but felt unwilling or unable to express their concerns. New research shows how leaders can make constructive challenge not just possible but an integral part of a thriving organisational culture. Five actions for leaders:
1) Ask better questions - ones that directly invite disagreement
2) Acknowledge the legitimacy of the challenge
3) Keep meetings interactive & friendly
4) Allocate enough time for open discussion
5) Create a sense of accountability among team members

A fantastic free White Paper on "Facilitating Constructive Challenge" based on the research: https://t.co/otaXtuRO1Q. By @ProfCeliaMoore.
