Psychological Safety
Psychological safety, by Amy Edmondson
Frame the problem - important, complex, meaningful (invitation to bring your full self to work)
Share fallibility - we are all learning, developing, need your help (esp in new virtual learning context)
Welcome the messenger - if feedback is given from students on how things could be improved - welcome it :-)
Psychological safety
To measure a team’s level of psychological safety, Edmondson asked team members how strongly they agreed or disagreed with these statements:
If you make a mistake on this team, it is often held against you.
Members of this team are able to bring up problems and tough issues.
People on this team sometimes reject others for being different.
It is safe to take a risk on this team.
It is difficult to ask other members of this team for help.
No one on this team would deliberately act in a way that undermines my efforts.
Working with members of this team, my unique skills and talents are valued and utilized.
