Assessing psychological safety starts with creating a space where everyone feels empowered to cast their vote, share feedback, and speak openly. 📊 Ask yourself: Is your team encouraged to share ideas without fear of judgment? When people feel truly safe, trust grows, and so does innovation. How safe is your team to speak up? 🗣️ #TeamAssessment #PsychologicalSafety #OpenCommunication

Trust and psychological safety are two sides of the same coin. 🪙 When trust is present, people are more likely to share bold ideas, admit mistakes, and ask for help—without hesitation. It’s not just about feeling safe; it’s about knowing your voice will be valued. How does trust show up in your team’s culture? 🤔 #BuildingTrust #PsychologicalSafety #TeamDynamics

We've all been there: you share a brilliant idea, and it's shot down due to budget, past failures, or negativity. Admitting mistakes or taking risks in such environments erodes trust.

Each workplace I've been a part of in my three-decade career has inadvertently fostered a firefighting culture, despite claiming to detest it. The allure of the "Ready, Fire, Aim" approach is undeniable, offering an instant dopamine boost often absent in long-term strategic thinking. While many nod in agreement at the idea of eliminating firefighting, true engagement is scarce. The comfort and rush of overcoming chaos prevail, leading back to old habits when faced with change. Are you truly a proficient firefighter or perhaps a concealed arsonist? Self-awareness is key to breaking this cycle.
