Leadership and Psychological Safety"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine an organization where there is <strong>no room for new ideas<\/strong>, where diversity is an obstacle, where <strong>change is<\/strong> only portrayed as <strong>a risk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine an organization where people are <strong>afraid<\/strong> to contribute, to ask questions, to seek help, to share their concerns and doubts in a timely manner. A dystopian vision, maybe? Yet, this is what happens in a high percentage of companies, where only 26% of leaders (source: McKinsey 2021) adopt behaviours that embrace and support a sense of <strong>psychological safety<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are we talking about<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Never before has it been more strategic for companies to tirelessly embrace <strong>change<\/strong> and <strong>innovation<\/strong> in order to grow. Everyone needs to be proactive, to invest more energy in their work and to take &#8216;interpersonal risks&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psychological Safety<\/strong> is the condition in which every person in the organisation can express their ideas, doubts and fears without being judged or &#8216;punished&#8217; for it. When Psychological Safety is intrinsically part of the <strong>corporate culture<\/strong>, it triggers virtuous processes at organisational, group and individual level, which reinforce active learning, information sharing, change and engagement.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Managers&#8217; role<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is therefore essential for managers to also become <strong>enablers of psychological safety<\/strong>, building and spreading a culture made up not only of ideas, but also of <strong>behaviours<\/strong>. Listening, supporting, caring for others (first as people, and then as employees) are some of the behaviours that contribute to creating a corporate climate of trust and security; solid communication skills, but above all the perception of sharing a space and a language supported by psychological safety help to overcome possible divergences and conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>The promotion of well-being in Organizations also requires the development of <strong>emotional intelligence<\/strong>. Emotions influence behaviour and knowing how to manage them means fully exploiting their potential: a fearless and psychologically safe working environment respects and facilitates the functional expression of emotional experiences and allows a <strong>constructive use of conflict<\/strong> in the service of the Team and the Organization&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Towards Fearless Organizations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Psychological safety is the basis of a corporate climate that enables people to work better and more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>A state of <strong>wellbeing<\/strong> within organizations also reduces turnover, creates engagement and fuels talent acquisition. Managers first can be promoters of listening, acceptance, inclusion, and the free expression of emotions. In this way, a <strong>fearless mindset<\/strong> can then cascade through the acquisition of new skills and behaviours.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psychological Safety is the condition in which every person in the organization can express their ideas, doubts and fears without being judged or &#8216;punished&#8217; for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":246,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-reflections"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Without fear.
