A Psychologist's Thoughts on Psychological Safety
With ca. 400 million search results on Google, psychological safety (PS) has become one of the biggest buzzwords in recent years. Unfortunately, most of the people writing and talking about PS are not psychologists. Although they are for the most part well-meaning, this has led to spread of misinformation about what PS is and how it can be fostered in teams.
This talk addresses some misconceptions about PS, presents techniques used by psychologists to analyse PS, and asks the question whether PS is all that's needed for high-performing teams.
Target Audience: Managers, Coaches, Scrum Masters
