The Thinking.school Podcast

Do you hold back your ideas? Do you avoid asking questions? This week we are talking about the idea of Psychological Safety. How do we create a workplace where we have that kind of emotional freedom to take risks together? What are some parallels from the playground at school? Anyone who has gone to school can tell you that is not a Psychologically Safe environment! So what is the alternative to Psychological Safety? Resilience. Watch today's video, to understand the dangers of resilience and the concept behind 'Open Resilience" and how it works in environments that might not have a culture of Psychological Safety yet. How can you make a difference? As a leader – or as someone in (or working with) an organisation that is not there yet.
