This episode (and the following episode) is all about psychological safety. Psychological safety is not a “safe space,” nor does it mean everyone gets a round of applause for everything they do. It’s a very real and critical ingredient of high-performing teams, and this is backed by research. It’s the ability for people to speak up and make mistakes without fear of being rejected or “punished,” leading to innovation, creativity, engagement, and more. Mike and Ethan Nash take a tour of psychological safety: what it is, its relationship to trust, why it matters, where it comes, barriers to creating it, and how to start building it among your team. Don’t skip this one.
