Megan Reitz on Open Dialogue, Spaciousness and the Conversations We Need to Have

Minds Worth Meeting

Speaking up – and empowering your employees to speak up – is a vital prerequisite for a company culture that supports innovation. In this episode of Minds Worth Meeting, Justin Louis and Meg Virag sit down with Oxford University Saïd Business School associate fellow, Megan Reitz. We discuss the importance of how leaders “show up” to work, why we all need safe environments to speak up and permission to pause, and how AI is starting to change dialogue in organizations.
In this episode:

• Before employees can be empowered to speak up, Megan explains why leaders need to work on their own habits first.
• She shares fascinating insights about employee activism and how workers and leaders alike can constructively participate.
• Megan dives into her new research on “spaciousness” at work and how it can supercharge productivity, creativity and wellbeing.
