I have been unemployed … I have been worried I won’t find another job … I have laid awake wondering and worrying. I believe in illuminating fear, of turning towards it instead of away from it. I believe fear can be overcome, but it needs to be acknowledged, recognized, and there is a process to move past it. This is a brief post on getting started on that path.
Admitting fear makes someone vulnerable. Being vulnerable is not something that many people are willing to discuss.
To reveal the fears in your organization there must be a culture of non-judgment, open communication, and earned trust. If those three elements are in place, then by listening and watching it is possible to identify fears and the people who are suffering.
