LinkedIn Poll on Barriers to Speaking Up: Fear and Futility
Research by\xa0Ethan Burris\xa0shows that the top two reasons employees choose to keep quiet in the workplace are:
1\ufe0f\u20e3 Futility
2\ufe0f\u20e3 Fear
Fear of getting in trouble is a big problem. But there are also many workplaces where people say, quite literally, \u201cI'm not afraid to speak up, it just isn't worth the effort.\u201d
That's the Futility Factor.
Please answer this poll question via LinkedIn. And I'd love to hear your thoughts in a comment here on the blog post or on\xa0LinkedIn.
