116 - Amy Edmondson: Psychological safety de-risks candor and fuels courage.

"Unsafe cultures endanger everyone," says Amy Edmondson, Novartis Professor at Harvard Business School.

Amy and I unpack why courage and psychological safety are two sides of the same coin, and why fostering psychologically safe workplaces requires people to trust that the pay off for courage is worth the pitfalls.

Regardless of your position, making people feel safe to be honest and vulnerable with you – including sharing things you may not enjoy hearing - is vital for any meaningful relationship to flourish, personally or professionally.
