The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety

This book provides a framework for leaders to cultivate psychological safety within their organizations.

It outlines four successive stages: Inclusion Safety, where individuals feel accepted and part of the team; Learner Safety, where they feel safe to ask questions, experiment, and make mistakes; Contributor Safety, where they are encouraged to participate fully and contribute meaningfully; and Challenger Safety, where they can challenge the status quo without fear of repercussions.

Clark draws on psychology, philosophy, social science, and his own experiences to show how leaders can create an environment that fosters vulnerability, learning, and innovation.
