Building high performing leaders for a changing working world

As demonstrated by Google’s landmark study, Project Aristotle, a solid team is one where members are able to put their ideas forward, challenge conventional thinking, and admit mistakes without fear of negative consequences – in other words, an environment where they feel psychologically safe.

In fact, Project Aristotle found that the presence of psychological safety within teams was by far the most important to ensuring high productivity, engagement and employee wellbeing.

Psychological safety is the "shared belief held by members of a team that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking," and "a sense of confidence that the team will not embarrass, reject or punish someone for speaking up." – Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School
