What psychological safety isn't...
The topic of psychological safety (PS) is gaining in popularity within organizations. Our customers are witness to this. However, the concept is sometimes misinterpreted. Here are a few clarifications:
- This is no excuse for brutal, impulsive honesty. Instead, it encourages empathy and compassion.
- Nor does it justify ignoring problems on the grounds that "everything's fine". She values genuine, sincere sharing, even when it's difficult.
- It's not an easy subject for everyone. Ease and comfort in dealing with MS can vary significantly, underlining the importance of taking into account the impact of diversity, personalities and privilege of certain individuals.
- It's not something you can achieve. MS is dynamic and requires constant work to maintain and develop.
Teamwork
Our definition of MS
The ability to share ideas, questions and concerns without fear of personal repercussions. It's also the ability to be oneself and reveal one's vulnerability without fearing the judgment of others. Here are a few examples:
- Ask for help;
- Admitting a mistake;
- Taking risks;
- Suggest new ideas;
- Ask questions;
- Give feedback.
