Does your team feel safe to take risks together?

In order to innovate and adapt to complex and changing situations, we have to be willing to experiment and fail. This requires that a team feels safe enough to take interpersonal risks together. This is what is called psychological safety. It is especially important to be strategic about psychological safety on teams with a high level of diversity. The more differences of identity, experience and perspectives there are on a team, the more likely people are to distrust each other, have conflict, and create ingroups and outgroups. This requires careful work to support members of a team to feel safe enough to work effectively together. In this training you will learn basic principles for supporting equity-focused psychological safety on your team.
