SILENCE & CREATIVITY
14. Silencing ourselves
Being silenced
Silencing others
I can’t think about that now.
I don’t want to believe that.
Who am I to say?
Will I make a fool of myself?
They won’t like it.
Who are you to tell me that?
That won’t earn you points.
Not very team-like to say that.
That’s not how we do things.
There’s no proof, is there?
If you knew more…
Are you really sure?
That’s a career-limiCng move.
Don’t embarrass us.
You’re a disappointment.
Let’s keep this to ourselves.
No feedback unCl we’re ready.
Speaking for the leadership team.
