Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth
STEP 1
Start the conversation with your team and take the initiative to be a part of our success. Use the getAbstract "The Fearless Organization" to get started.
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:
In what way can the lack of psychological safety hurt organizations?
Can you think of a time when you opted to stay silent and came to regret it? What prevented you from speaking up at the time?
How can leaders foster a work culture where people look at mistakes as learning opportunities?
How can leaders encourage people – including shy introverts – to put their ideas forward?
What is your main takeaway from the summary? Any action step you plan to take?
Take away:
Welcoming ideas – and recognizing and rewarding people for sharing opinions and calling out mistakes – enables organizations to develop fearless cultures. Leadership expert Amy Edmondson explains what it takes to create a work environment where people feel psychologically safe.
“People err so far on the side of caution at work that they routinely hold back great ideas – not just bad news.”
