When you notice something ethically questionable, encounter offensive speech, or disagree with consensus opinion, speaking up can be hard to do. Most people tend to not act, and then rationalize their inaction. But you’re not really doing your job — as a diligent employee, compassionate colleague, or thoughtful leader — if you don’t lend your voice to the conversation. So what can you do? First, realize how just how psychologically difficult but worthwhile speaking up can be. Second, work to lessen the social threat that it creates, making it clear that you’re not out to get anyone. Third, make an if-then plan: if I see this, then I will do that.
Speaking up is hard to do.
