Canvas: Psychological Safety

Psychological Safety

At the base of sustainable productivity

Psychological safety is a necessary condition for building sustainable productivity. It is the foundation on which teams and morale can be built on. It is crucial to having happy, engaged employees that feel included. With sound psychological conditions comes a variety of benefits: better quality, more ideas and space for professional growth, ability to learn from mistakes - to name a few.

Teams that lack psychological safety often not even become highly effective as they are not able to discuss the root cause of the challenges they face, they struggle with providing and receiving feedback and rather try to prove they are right than build on each other's ideas.
