Psychological Safety

Dr. Abbey Davis — Director for the Center for the Future of Work, Spears School of Business, and Assistant Professor of Practice, Oklahoma State University Dr. Alexis Smith Washington — Spears School of Business Senior Inclusion Officer, Associate Professor of Management and William S. Spears Chair of Business Administration

In this masterclass, we’ll lean on the work of Amy Edmondson and unpack the concept of psychological safety, the shared belief held by team members that interpersonal risk taking is safe. Defining the term further, we’ll identify the specific behaviors that build upon 4 stages of psychological safety: Inclusion Safety, Learner Safety, Contributor Safety, and Challenger Safety. To help participants see how psychological safety shows up at work, we’ll discuss two real-life case studies, one from the banking industry and the other from the airline industry. We will talk about the crit- ical role that leaders play in fostering psychologically safe teams and break down the specific behaviors that can help build or wreak havoc on this process.
