Ep 196: Creating Psychological Safety in Your Team
Psychological safety is the foundation of every high-performing team—yet many leaders unintentionally undermine it without realising. This week my Impactful Teams Co-Founder Lara Cullen and I explore psychological safety, why comfort isn’t the goal, and the small (but powerful) leadership behaviours that create a culture where people feel safe to contribute, challenge and innovate.
💡 We talk about:
- What psychological safety really means
- The difference between psychological safety and trust
- Why mistakes aren’t a bad thing
- What destroys psychological safety
- Why comfort isn’t the goal
