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?
