In this episode of The Daily Lead, Tyson examines psychological safety as a critical antecedent to individual and collective performance. The episode explores how silence often reflects perceived interpersonal risk rather than agreement, and why high-performing teams depend on environments that explicitly support inquiry, dissent, and learning from error. By outlining observable leadership behaviors that signal safety—such as non-defensive responses, early solicitation of input, and transparency around uncertainty—the episode positions psychological safety as a disciplined, evidence-based leadership construct that enables cognitive contribution and sustained performance.
