BUILDING RED HOT TEAMS
A Workplace Program – Creating Psychologically Safe Teams
Psychological Safety has been found to be the single most important factor in high performing teams (Project Aristotle).
Psychological Safety can be defined as environments of rewarded vulnerability. By building psychologically safe workplaces we create environments that enable employees to take an interpersonal risk. This enables people to feel safe (physically and psychologically), to learn, grow and innovate.
I have delivered this program for the past two years witnessing tangible results in individuals and team connectedness, safety and performance. CEOs and Boards are delighted with the outcomes and Executives report “hearing a new language” being spoken in the halls as a result of the program.
Of course, you get out what you put in. The best results have been achieved where the Executive actively support participation, create shared language, walk the talk, and enable their leaders to have dedicated time away from the demands of their roles. It’s so enormously satisfying to see the growth and equip Leaders with the skills to lead safely – bringing out everybody’s best- as well as effectively and realising the two are interrelated.
