  • What Exactly is Psychological Safety14:18

    Psychological safety is defined by Timothy Clark as rewarded vulnerability. When people feel free to bring their whole self to work they also bring their best effort to the team and work with a team first mentality. In Dr. Clark's book The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety he defines the four stages as:

    • Inclusion Safety

    • Learner Safety

    • Contributor Safety

    • Challenger Safety

  • Don't Get Trapped: What Psychological Safety is Not7:53

    There are some misconceptions about psychological safety. It is important to state those now so we do not propagate any misconceptions. Psychological safety is not about:

    • Shielding people from accountability.

    • Niceness or being nice.

    • Coddling

    • Consensus decision-making.

    • Unearned autonomy

    • Political correctness

    The official leader is directly responsible for the team outcomes and the team culture. The official or formal leader has direct control over the team culture and creates a sense of psychological safety. The informal leader influences the team culture. The quickest way to create or influence a high-performing culture is to:

    1. State psychological safety as a shared value.

    3. Role model the appropriate behaviors.
