Psychological safety is one of the most consistent predictors of innovation, team development, and effective leadership and membership. It means feeling safe enough to speak up and take risks without fear of embarrassment, rejection or retribution.
This doesn’t mean anything goes. It does mean bringing our best selves to work: ‘the part that is curious, constructive, and committed to learning. Our best selves make an effort to understand others and to collaborate effectively even with those who don’t think like us.’
Chamorro-Premuzic & Edmonson, 2025.
This isn’t always easy.
So how do we foster work environments where this becomes more possible? This participative workshop will apply Systems-Centered® ideas and methods for taking up leadership and followership roles functionally to co-create collaborative, goal-oriented and problem-solving organisational cultures.
