Episode 32: Psychological Safety


Listen Later

Perhaps not quite what you think, but Psychological Safety is a term almost exclusively used in a workplace setting.  

A term that came to prominence thanks to the clever folks at Google, Psychological safety is being able to show who you really are without fear of negative consequences to your self-image, status or career.

The wikipedia page on this concept is actually quite fabulous:

And if you would like to read Google's Project Aristotle's own research into this subject, visit here:

As we discussed in the podcast, this work has a great deal of overlap with Patrick Lencioni's work.  Patrick is a legend and well worth finding out about:
