🌴 212. Why That Frypan’s Still in the Sink

Today, I’m talking about a phenomenon I see everywhere — in workshops, in virtual calls, in team meetings, and even at home in my kitchen: diffusion of responsibility.Here’s what I cover:Why the more people you have in a room, the less likely it is someone will speak upThe difference between “we should…” and “I will…”How this shows up in virtual breakouts (and what I do to get around it)A classic household example (starring Chris and the eternally soaking frypan)What it means for accountability in organizationsThe mindset shift from bystander to impact playerYou’ll also hear my favourite prompt to cut through ambiguity and indecision: Why not you? Why not now?👀 So next time you notice something slipping through the cracks — in life, at work, or at home — maybe that’s your sign to take the lead.Pre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
