Psychological safety has become one of the most widely used concepts in leadership and organizational development. It is also one of the most misunderstood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not about creating an environment where everyone always feels comfortable. It is about creating an environment where it is possible to take interpersonal risks without facing negative consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the research says<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy Edmondsons forskning vid Harvard Business School \u2013 bland de mest citerade inom omr\u00e5det \u2013 visar att psykologisk trygghet \u00e4r den enskilt viktigaste faktorn f\u00f6r teamprestation<\/a>. Inte kompetens, inte erfarenhet, inte resurser. Tryggheten att kunna s\u00e4ga n\u00e5got som \u00e4r fel, fr\u00e5ga n\u00e5got som k\u00e4nns dumt eller beh\u00e5lla en id\u00e9 som inte \u00e4r f\u00e4rdig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is logical: teams that do not dare to share information do not share it. And teams that do not share information make poorer decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it manifests \u2014 or does not<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low psychological safety does not always look dramatic. It is rarely someone shouting at someone else. It is more subtle: people are quiet in meetings. Questions are not asked. Bad news does not reach the manager. Mistakes are concealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High psychological safety looks like the opposite: someone challenges something the manager said and that is welcomed. Someone asks for help and receives it without it being interpreted as weakness. Mistakes are surfaced so that lessons can be drawn from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leader\u2019s role<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psychological safety is almost always created from the top. The leader sets the norm \u2014 through how they respond when someone raises a difficult issue, how they handle mistakes, and whether they themselves are willing to show uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot read your way to a safe climate. You create it \u2014 one conversation at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have thoughts, questions, or simply want to talk something through \u2014 feel free to get in touch. I am happy to have an initial conversation with no agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
