Leaders and Makers

Over 99% of employees would like to discuss issues truthfully and effectively. More than 50% say their organisations are not doing it.

The number one efficiency booster is psychological safety. Why is that so? When teams can not speak about their blockers and impediments, they won't talk about it therefore they won't resolve them. Organisations that focus on metrics and processes are less effective in implementing those. This costs time. Feeling comfortable means being able to talk about issues safely without fearing penalties and this means being safe to implement the right innovations for organisations to thrive. Culture is a very important part of this process. As soon you have a team, you have a culture and want to establish a collaborative and safe environment. I help you define one and how to keep track of it.
