Behind every high-performing team lies one critical foundation: psychological safety. Without it, innovation stalls, collaboration suffers, and mistakes go unspoken. Creating Teams Where It’s Safe to Speak Up shows you exactly how to embed trust and openness into your culture, so your people can do their best work without fear of judgment.
This hands-on guide gives you the tools to make psychological safety real, not abstract. You’ll learn how to establish team norms that support honesty, run effective debriefs that drive learning, and hold blameless postmortems that transform setbacks into progress. With practical strategies and real-world examples, you’ll gain the confidence to lead in ways that inspire openness, strengthen resilience, and fuel growth.
Whether you’re leading a startup, managing a department, or guiding a cross-functional project, this book helps you create a culture where mistakes become lessons, feedback sparks improvement, and everyone feels safe to contribute.
