Psychological Safety
Training leaders to create a psychologically safe environment equips them with the skills to foster trust and open communication, accelerating their leadership effectiveness. When leaders understand and implement the principles of psychological safety, they can build stronger, more cohesive teams.
In a Psychologically Safe Environment
- All team members share ideas and concerns, not just a select few.
- Employees are supported when taking calculated risks, with intelligent mistakes seen as learning opportunities.
- Leaders are approachable and available, take time to engage with employees, and honor commitments.
- Efforts and achievements are regularly acknowledged, boosting morale and work ethic.
In a Non-Psychologically Safe Environment
- Employees hesitate to speak up or challenge ideas.
- Decisions are made by a select few, with little input from the wider team.
- Feedback often comes across as critical, unsupportive, or demeaning rather than constructive.
- Team members show signs of frustration and defeat as they feel things won’t ever change for the better.
Commitment vs. Compliance
Creating a psychologically safe environment is not a one-time effort but a continuous process. It involves consistent actions and behaviors that build trust, encourage open communication, and promote a culture of learning and growth.
