Recommendation

In their concise and insightful guidebook, consultants Karolin Helbig and Minette Norman offer 25 actionable tips leaders can implement immediately to improve psychological safety at work. They outline five skills leaders must harness to do so: communication; listening; emotional regulation; managing failure; and inclusion. Each of the five skills is handily accompanied by five ways to implement them. Accessible and inspiring, this handbook fills a long-standing gap in the literature on psychological safety: exactly how to nurture it in relationships, teams and cultures.

Take-Aways

  • Everyone needs to feel psychologically safe to reach their full potential.
  • Communicate courageously: Welcome diverse viewpoints – and don’t insist on your own.
  • Improve your listening skills to help others feel understood.
