It takes guts

Is it always disloyal to disagree silently? Is it all your responsibility when you choose not to speak up?

Everyone wants their people to have the guts to speak up. Everyone wants their people to have the guts to do what’s right. That’s very noble but also hypocritical if you’re asking us to be ready to jump in front of a train just to get your attention.

It takes much more courage to listen in a way that makes it easy for everyone to speak up; to foster an environment in which everyone is enabled to do what’s right.
