The phrase “stay in your lane” is commonly used to affirm the importance of doing your assigned tasks and only your assigned tasks. If you see an important task that needs to be done that isn’t your responsibility, should you do it?
Before you decide whether to switch lanes, consider the authors’ research, based on observations and recordings of first responders completing mass-casualty incident simulations. You don’t necessarily need to stay in your lane — just be sure to merge both out of your lane and back in appropriately.

Do you have a feedback program in place for your employees? According to a new report, 36% of employees work at a company that doesn't. Even those companies that do may not be offering the best channels for giving feedback and are overlooking opportunities to give voice to those who don’t feel they can speak up.
This isn't just making it difficult for employees to submit feedback to leadership. This is sending the message that employees have no voice and that leadership doesn't want to hear from their workers.
