Timothy Clark flips the context in this Forbes article on psychological safety by talking about what it is not, and how to avoid leadership missteps that result in a lack of accountability. He defines psychological safety as “an environment of rewarded vulnerability” that enables you to fearlessly:
- Feel included
- Learn
- Contribute
- Challenge the status quo
While all of this sounds simplistic and easy, the real-world experiences have a way of making it confusing. This is a quick, digestible article that provides some good clarifications and reassurance that a psychologically safe environment is not a shield from expectations, but rather a place from which people can thrive.
