Psychological Safety
Safety is the single most important indicator of high performance. When we have safety we can have high levels of conversational transparency, behavioural agility, and sustained innovation.
We can capitalise on the diversity of thought within a group and we have higher levels of connection to each other and our work.
For the ever-changing world we work in, we must be able to speak up, show up and connect in a way that creates trust and effective decision-making.
This program is focused on mobilising our collectives to maximise our outcomes.
Where are you and your teams right now?
This model is used to help people reflect on the value of increasing psychological safety as well as what is possible for engagement, communication and outcomes.
How do we get more psychological safety?
There are three things that create a safe space for a team or a larger collective.
(i) We must know what our collective goals and motivations are and they must be of at least equal status to our individual goals.
(ii) We must have people in our group who are able to self-manage their reactions to enable their best selves to operate even when in challenging circumstances.
(iii) We must have people who are capable of understanding how to communicate effectively and how to create safety interpersonally.
