Psychological safety is critical for high-performing teams
- temikus 5y agoI’m still surprised that it’s a revelation to many managers. “What do you mean an oppressive environment is not conducive to good team dynamics?”
- hunglee2 5y agoit is a progressive idea, but the paradox is that psychological safety is most easily achieved through homogenising teams. Think about situations where we voluntarily cohere into groups - girls night out, D&D role playing night, weekend watching the game (with fans of the same team). These are all great psychologically safe things to do, precisely because everyone else is in-group. Indeed, these events get significantly disrupted when a newcomer is present, as suddenly it may not be possible to speak / behave as freely as before.
