Have You Really Created A Safe Space?

This is a short post. It’s about psychological safety in leadership. Its concision does not lessen its significance for leaders, however. I encourage you to reread the content, sit with it and reflect.

A safe space always is, otherwise it just isn’t a safe space.

Psychological safety is quite simply a necessity for any team or organization that wants to have sustainably high performance in the long run.

Not to mention, it’s just ethical.

Leaders are increasingly aware of this, but the work is in actively creating that safe space.

And by the way – safe means it needs to be safe for your most othered employees.

Otherwise it’s quite simply not safe.
