But I'm a Professional!

Managing Psychological Safety


Listen Later

Dear Manager, how can you notice performance gains, increase learning, engagement, information sharing, and improve commitment?

I'll give you a hint... the answer does not involve shouts, rants, rages, screams, humiliation, nor punishment.

It happens in spaces where a team feels safe enough to share problems, mistakes, and concerns - and rely on interpersonal exchanges to overcome them.

Tune in to define Psychological Safety beyond the buzzword (buzzphrase?) and back to the brainstorming session, where it belongs.
