Say It Early (Gilbert's Law)
About this episode
This episode discusses Gilbert's Law and the impact of silence on workplace problems.
A surprising number of workplace problems aren't caused by incompetence, poor planning, or bad intentions. They're caused by silence. In this episode, we explore Gilbert's Law: the idea that the biggest problem in organisations is often people's reluctance to discuss problems while they're still small. Learn why people hesitate to speak up, how communication delays create larger issues, and what professionals can do to build a more open workplace culture.
