Title:
Psychological Safety Makes Teams Effective
Summary:
What was your best team ever? How can you describe your dream team?
In 2012, Google embarked on an initiative — code-named Project Aristotle — to study hundreds of company’s teams and figure out why some stumbled while others soared. After observing 180 teams across the company, and analyzing more than 250 attributes, the group of researchers identified psychological safety as a condition for an effective team. This presentation identifies what psychological safety is, the neurological science behind it, and its effects on people and teams. It discusses the difference between a group and a Team (with capital “T”). Together we’ll utilize the Integral Model to see how lack of psychological safety affects all aspects of life in an organization.
