Three Ways to Build Psychological Safety

Even if you’re not “in charge” of your team, you can build psychological safety by doing just three things:

1. Frame work as a learning problem, not an execution problem. The primary outcome of work should be knowing how to do it even better next time.

2. Acknowledging your own fallibility. You might be an expert, but even you can make mistakes – if you admit it when you do, you allow others to do the same.

3. Model curiosity. This creates a need for voice. Via asking questions, you create space for people to speak up.
