Help your people feel more valued and motivated at work.

Psychological safety is at the heart of an effective team. Without it, people would feel stifled. Individuals would fear speaking up, taking risks, failing, or even bringing their full selves to work. But with psychological safety—and the trust and acceptance that comes with it—your team can reach new levels of performance, growth, and inclusion.

This book offers leaders a rich understanding of the concept of psychological safety. Using key themes of emotional intelligence, including empathy, compassion, and self-awareness, it provides expert advice on how to assess the level of psychological safety on your team, fill any gaps so that everyone feels a sense of belonging, and ensure every person can fully engage with those around them.
