We start with ourselves, understanding the challenges we face when we learn something new and begin to overcome our fear of vulnerability. We then consider our working teams, showing an often missed but integral connection between the soft skills of psychological safety and the short-term goals required to succeed in our jobs. Finally, we acknowledge the difficulty of shifting the culture across an organization and explore opportunities to create a more psychologically safe workplace for all.
By addressing each of these barriers, and with repeated practice to build a habit around psychological safety, we are more likely to feel happier at work, achieve more success as a team, and create a thriving organization.
