Psychological Safety &
High Performing Teams
The Best Leader
You’ve Ever Had
A psychologically
safe workplace
Psychological safety is a shared belief that the
team is safe for interpersonal risk taking. It can
be defined as "being able to show and employ
one's self without fear of negative
consequences of self-image, status or career"
(Kahn 1990)
2017 Research
117 studies
22,000 individuals
5000 groups
Psychological safety is strongly linked to:
● Information sharing
● Willingness to discuss mistakes
● Willingness to share ideas
● Willingness to ask for and receive feedback
● Experimentation
Psychologically unsafe team:
● Expend a lot of emotional energy
● Restricts our activities to the basics
● Low innovation
● High uncertainty
● Lower engagement & productivity
Leaders have a
critical influence
on psychological
safety
People join good organisations and leave
bad managers.
People see the organisation only through
their immediate boss. However good the
organisation is, people will quit (or become
distressed) if the reporting relationship is not
good and healthy.
- Gallup
