This episode covers Jim Detert's article, which discusses the "deep rules" — unspoken organizational norms — that prevent honest communication about crucial issues like compensation, leadership, and company strategy. These unwritten rules lead to self-censorship among employees and hinder effective decision-making. Detert proposes three techniques to encourage open dialogue about these "undiscussables," focusing on prompting conversations about organizational follies, exploring fairness through a "veil of ignorance," and directly addressing unspoken issues. The ultimate goal is to foster open communication and fairer practices within organizations despite potential resistance to change. The author emphasizes the importance of leadership in initiating and responding constructively to such discussions.
