STEP 2

Schedule a team meeting to discuss the questions.

STEP 3

Have a discussion with your team or reflect on the questions.

Discussion Questions:

Do you feel you can bring your whole self to work? Do
you feel accepted the way you are?
How can organizations create an environment that
encourages curiosity and learning?
How should organizations measure and reward
performance to promote “contributor safety”?
How can managers encourage employees to be bold
and challenge the status quo?
Why is it so important that a workplace culture gets

Companies navigating a rapidly changing environment depend on an agile, innovative workforce. But team members won’t volunteer their ideas, challenge outdated work processes and be proactive learners if they don’t have one thing first: psychological safety. Author and leadership consultant Timothy R. Clark shows how to unleash people’s untapped potential by offering them the freedom to learn, engage and innovate.

“Your team may be exquisitely
endowed with brilliant people and
abundant resources, but if
individuals don’t feel free to probe,
prod, poke, pilot, and prototype,
ask silly questions, stretch and
stumble, they won’t venture. ”
