Psychological safety is the foundation of every high-performing team—yet many leaders unintentionally undermine it without realising. This week my Impactful Teams Co-Founder Lara Cullen and I explore psychological safety, why comfort isn’t the goal, and the small (but powerful) leadership behaviours that create a culture where people feel safe to contribute, challenge and innovate. 

 

💡 We talk about: 

What psychological safety really means The difference between psychological safety and trust Why mistakes aren’t a bad thing What destroys psychological safety Why comfort isn’t the goal
