Fostering a healthy workplace where difficult issues are discussed openly & effectively is a huge challenge for any leader.  Trier Bryant & Kim Scott, co-founders of Just Work LLC join us for a discussion around: 

• typical stressors experienced by leaders
• helping leaders understand their own bias & how bias can be identified & discussed effectively, openly & safely
• embracing discomfort in the service of difficult, but necessary conversations & the importance of navigating shame to tolerate discomfort 
• differences between an executive coach & psychologist 
• effectively managing difficult interpersonal situations (e.g., bullying) from a management perspective  
• pros/cons of various courses of action when confronted with workplace harassment/bias i.e., active confrontation vs. strategic disengagement
• understanding & appreciating the complex relationship between bias & performance 
• ending the "default to silence" when confronted with unhealthy workplaces
