Book Club - The Fearless Organization by Amy Edmondson Part 1

In our next meetup, we will have a book club on The Fearless Organization by Amy Edmondson who is the most prominent researcher on psychological safety.

Here's a bit from the book description:

"This book explores this culture of psychological safety, and provides a blueprint for bringing it to life. The road is sometimes bumpy, but succinct and informative scenario-based explanations provide a clear path forward to constant learning and healthy innovation.

• Explore the link between psychological safety and high performance
• Create a culture where it’s “safe” to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakes
• Nurture the level of engagement and candor required in today’s knowledge economy
• Follow a step-by-step framework for establishing psychological safety in your team or organization"

We will cover this book in two sessions. In the first one, we will cover chapters 1 to 4. And in the second one, we will cover chapters 5-8 in two weeks.

Here are a few guidelines on how you can make the most of the book club:

• start with a goal for reading this book: what would you like to achieve by reading it?
• make notes and write down your reflections as you read
• write down passages that you don't understand
• write down passages that you disagree with
• write down passages that answer questions you had or address the challenges you've experienced when you were a coach

Looking forward to meeting you to talk about this wonderful book.
