Until Google’s breakthrough study, Project Aristotle, there was little mainstream awareness on the role psychological safety in leading a productive workplace.

Leaders who create psychological safety in their teams lead their organisations to greatness
To be convinced, one only need look at what happens to workplaces where psychology safety has fallen to the wayside. Decreased production, attrition, and disengagement are but a few of the tell-tale symptoms.

What does it mean? Why does it matter? And what actions must leaders take to get there?
