Psychological Safety
Ed speaks to Jessica Crow at Change Leader Insights about the behavioral science behind change and its impact on workplace cultures (including toxic ones).
During the conversation, Jessica and Edwina discuss the significance of ensuring people feel included to improve team psychological safety and how many organizations (for-profit in particular) struggle to provide psychologically safe environments where change and innovation – which requires risk – thrive.
Says Edwina, “We hate to be excluded…It’s important that we feel included and that we are a part of the group…One of the most powerful punishments you give to anyone is a micro exclusion, and people do it all the time without even realizing.”
Highlights from the conversation include:
☑️ The importance of psychological safety in organizations today and why leaders should prioritize it
☑️ Small actions leaders can take to address the root causes of workplace environments lacking psychologically safe spaces
☑️ Why leadership development training is a necessity for improving leadership skills and leading effectively
