A Safe Place

The highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychological safety. It is the belief that you won’t be punished when you make a mistake.

• Approach conflict as a collaborator, not an adversary.
• Ask for feedback to illuminate your own blind spots. Open up for suggestions and ideas from your team and take time to reflect on them.
• Commit to developing a psychologically safe culture. Discuss shared “team rules” openly.
