Are your employees holding back their true opinions, ideas, or concerns due to fear, or do you even know? On this episode of Quick Take, we bring in Amy Edmondson's concept of "psychological safety" to dissect this critical idea and reveal how leaders can foster an environment where diverse teams feel secure to voice their thoughts, mistakes, and even tackle tough topics. We also share why having a varied team doesn’t automatically ensure psychological safety, and challenge the common strategy of using project update meetings as a transparency tool.

We don't stop there. We move beyond just defining psychological safety and delve into its correlation with growth and learning. We offer actionable insights on promoting open communication, creating a safe learning environment, and leading by example. This isn't just about creating a positive workplace; it's about building confidence and encouraging growth. Are you ready to transform your workplace into a haven of psychological safety and productivity? This episode can be your first step.
