Recently on a panel someone asked my best piece of advice for navigating corporate America. My response was: have an opinion and speak on it. Often times in these environments employees feel like they can’t challenge the status quo, leadership, etc because those people know what is right. Wrong! Your voice matters, your thoughts matter. It may not always be received as well as we hope, but don’t silence yourself to make anyone comfortable especially in these environments. Thoughts?

Having an opinion and using your voice matters, especially as you move up the ladder. Speak up for those that report to you or need your support. Not speaking up is right there with compliance and nothing changes when we do that.

That is a really good point. And I think a lot of people are deterred from sharing their thoughts because of a negative experience, I know I have. But it is really worthwhile to keep speaking up, really helps to have your voice heard and stick out from the crowd too.

I think this is REALLY good advice. Not enough people feel like they can really ask "why?" in my current org and it's not good for culture. Higher ups should be able to justify all their decisions and they should get used to being challenged, it will only make the company more resolute.
