How Bosses Can Stop the ‘Meeting After the Meeting’

Many people are afraid to express dissenting views in formal meetings, so they do it later when the boss isn’t around. Here’s how leaders can change that.

The Doctrine of Charity asks us to assume virtuous intent. To assume the best of others. When someone says something, what is the best they could have meant (instead of assuming the worst)? When someone is failing to deliver is there something else going on? 4/

These things happen so often that I have stopped noticing some of them. Recently a male resident pointed out one and then looked at me quizzically and said “Wow you don’t even notice that stuff anymore?” washingtonpost.com/wellness/…

Let’s stop using this language, and/or stop expecting “nice” women to speak this way. Both the habit and the expectation are equally problematic.

"I don't know if that made sense" - a smart woman who just made perfect sense. "Sorry if this is a stupid question" - a brilliant woman asking an important and perfectly valid question. "If you're sure it's not too much trouble" - a fair woman who just made a fair request.

From the very beginning this podcast resonates. When I started for 2 years my preference card wasn’t pulled overnight for torsions even though I both emailed and handed people my card. Including refusing to pull my correct glove size. #medtwitter podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
