4 Conversations Leaders in the #MeToo Era Should Be Ready For

As more and more people share their experiences of sexual harassment in the workplace, leaders must be prepared to navigate several kinds of difficult conversations with their teams. Specifically, leaders should consider how they will respond if an employee discloses an incident, how they will intervene if they see inappropriate behavior taking place at work, how they will proactively build a culture of respect, and how they will respond if an employee shares a past experience of harassment. In the #MeToo era, good leadership means not just responding to problems when they occur, but actively initiating the uncomfortable conversations that are essential to build a safe organization.
