Deep dives
Understanding Psychological Safety
Psychological safety refers to an environment where individuals feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, asking questions, and admitting mistakes without fear of negative consequences. Research indicates that teams with a low sense of psychological safety often face high levels of internal competition, which can suppress open communication and collaboration. For example, organizations focused solely on meeting key performance indicators may create environments where employees hesitate to voice concerns or innovative ideas. In contrast, a psychologically safe workplace encourages learning, innovation, and accountability among team members.
