The Connected Leadership Podcast: 'Psychological Safety' with Rebecca Morgan
Rebecca Morgan joins Andy Lopata to discuss Psychological Safety in this week's Connected Leadership Podcast. Rebecca has worked with the biggest companies in Silicon Valley, including Google and LinkedIn, looking at leadership practices with a particular focus on a culture that allows people to be vulnerable, to admit mistakes and to be comfortable in speaking up with a different approach without being penalised. Teams should not fear challenging the prevailing narrative. But, skills are needed to know how to be diplomatic and to disagree agreeably. This can only happen in companies with a recognised psychologically safe culture. In an interesting discussion, Andy and Rebecca also explore the value of planning for failure, and how to cope with people who don't accept these concepts.
