Arena: Self-Knowledge for Leading and Supporting
Free and Fear Human Groups
Introduction
When we are fearful, we cannot think, take risks, or collaborate effectively. The fundamental test of whether we are in a fear or a free group is the ‘town square test’ of free speech without fear of reprisal. The more fear is present in a group, the more ‘double-thinkers’ there will be, who are not willing to say what they are really thinking because the risk is too high. Do we want to live in a free or a fear family, organization, and society?
