I sat down with Dan Markovitz at the 2015 International AME Conference to discuss fear, its effects, and how to remove it from your organization. This is a great episode for reflection, especially as the new year approaches. An MP3 version of this episode is available for download here.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • About Dan’s book (2:44)
  • Why traditionally-run companies often have more fear (4:40)
  • A real life example of the power of positive feedback (7:21)

  • Whether you can or can not change a toxic work environment (13:41)
  • Practical tips for leaders (15:16)
