Psychological safety is a social setting characterized by evidence that people in that setting can ask questions, express concerns, make mistakes, and share ideas without feeling they will be punished, experience verbal abuse, or be targeted with microaggressions by other people in that setting.
Psychological safety is vital to teams in work, school, and organizational settings. When people do not feel safe to share a different idea or suggest downsides of other ideas, the business or organization can miss important information that may avoid disaster or lead to significant progress.
A key to psychological safety is trust. When one or more team members signal even mild threats, people may keep quiet to avoid embarrassment and humiliation. Perceived threats activate the fear circuit, which includes the amygdala.
Effective leaders create a setting where strategic risks can be considered without fear.
