In this episode, Robin and Al sit down with Leadership & Culture Speaker, Stephen (Shed) Shedletzky, author of Speak-Up Culture: When Leaders Truly Listen, People Step Up. Shed shares his personal journey of overcoming adversity and how it shaped his passion for creating a Speak Up Culture, where employees feel safe, respected, and encouraged to speak up about things that need to be addressed. He emphasizes the importance of psychological safety and the need for leaders to encourage and reward employees for speaking up. Shed also introduces his culture equation, which highlights the importance of clear values and behaviours multiplied by influence. He envisions a future where individuals use their strengths to contribute to something bigger than themselves, leading to fulfillment and growth.
"As a leader, your whisper is a shout and your tiptoes are stomps." ~ Stephen Shedletsky
