Fearless Staff®
Fearless Staff are supported by Fearless Leaders to feel safe to use their voice, take risks, are dependable, have structure and clarity in their respective roles and goals, find their work to be important and matter to create an impact for positive change that enables individual, team, and organizational performance and retention. It’s a 2-way mutually supportive relationship built on trust.
Fearless Staff Conceptual Model
The Fearless Staff conceptual module represents attributes on the left side of the triangle that create a psychologically safe (fearless) working environment for staff that enable staff performance, commitment to the job and retention. The right side of the triangle represents attributes that create fears that can impede staff performance, commitment to the job and retention. The white space at the top of the triangle represents barriers to a fearless work environment. The animation illustrates how fearless attributes drive out fearful attributes creating a fearless work environment where staff can thrive.
