Psychological Safety Guide

A practical guide to building psychological safety in teams

Teams can only truly flourish when they embrace learning and discovery. This requires an environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas, questions, and vulnerabilities. Pioneered by researcher Amy Edmondson, 'Psychological Safety' describes a team's ability to learn from mistakes without fear of blame.

It's the shared belief that a team is a safe place for inter-personal risk-taking and the foundation of a high-performing team. Thankfully, it doesn't require a huge investment of time or money to build. This guide offers a range of techniques for improving psychological safety on your team and in your organization.

The guide includes...

  • A quick-start checklist with immediate, 5-minute actions you can take.
  • A guide to the 'Festival of Failure', a fun ritual for building trust.
  • Four simple, high-impact ways to increase psychological safety.
  • Techniques for using play to foster a more collaborative and innovative work environment.
  • A troubleshooting guide and indicators for measuring progress.
