The Secret to High-Performing Teams

Did you know that Google's Project Aristotle discovered the most important factor in determining team success isn't skill, diversity, or even experience?

It's psychological safety.

When team members feel safe to be themselves, share ideas, and take risks, teams become more innovative, productive, and resilient.

Want to foster psychological safety in your team? Here are a few tips:

Lead by example: Be vulnerable and share your own mistakes.

Encourage open communication: Create a space where everyone feels heard and valued.

Celebrate diversity: Embrace different perspectives and experiences.

Provide constructive feedback: Focus on the behaviour, not the person.

Recognise and reward contributions: Show appreciation for everyone's efforts.

Let's build teams where everyone can thrive!
