Grow Psychological Safety
What is psychological safety?
“Uncertainty” is the word that characterizes the current environment. And yet, teams require a sense of belonging, security, and safety to do their best work.
Psychological safety is the belief that you can speak up freely without fear or risk of punishment and humiliation. This is a critical factor in healthy team dynamics that results in better decision-making, greater innovation, and more effective execution in organizations.
How do team members develop Psychological Safety?
First, members are willing to help; they lift others up, and they do not watch others fail. Second, members feel valued by others – and actively ensure others know their value. Third, members engage in open and direct conversation without discomfort. Fourth, members are willing to take risks – and approach these risks as valuable learning opportunities.
Does your ideal team look like this?
- Team members help one another
- Team members feel seen, heard, and understood
- Team members are not afraid of making mistakes or taking risks
- Team members feel confident to speak up
In this journey, you will learn how to:
- Create an accountable culture
- Help others lead more authentically
- Encourage others to take risks
- Become more inclusive
