What your team say when you’re not in the room

There are meetings happening in your organisation that you are not in. They take place in corridors, car parks, over lunch and in WhatsApp groups you do not know exist. In these conversations you would find out exactly what the staff think of the culture you have shaped and environment in which they work. Most leaders believe they have created psychological safety but the research shows there is usually a gap between the leaders perception and the reality their staff experience. In this episode James Rule explores that gap, asks the uncomfortable questions every leader should ask themselves to identify it and shares the key step every leader can take to establish psychological safety. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why the warning signs of a lack of psychological safety have become largely invisible in hybrid and remote working environments. Three practical tests for a leader to establish if psychological safety truly exists in their team. The single most powerful thing you can do to truly establish psychological safety in your culture.
