Agile Coaching: Psychological Safety Around Teams and Organizations

Psychological safety enables teams to perform well even in uncertain environments, through being able to make mistakes without fear of innovating by trying new and potentially risky endeavors, and through raising concerns or new ideas as they arise.

Agile is about delivering quickly in uncertain and changing environments, where the needs of the customer or the constraints of delivery can change or are unknown. For example, Agile includes the principle of “Minimum Viable Product”, which means building something that meets the minimum needs of the customer, providing it to them to use, and getting feedback about how to improve it.

Join us to:

• Understand psychological safety, what it is and what the benefits are.
• Desired Psychological Safety outcomes for your team include:
• Being able to bring your true selves to work, without fear of embarrassment or recrimination.
• Taking risks and innovating rather than "playing it safe".
• Fostering an environment of trust where team members can admit mistakes and learn from them rather than hide them, resulting in fewer failures.
• Highlight problems, dangers and opportunities as they arise.
• Be more inclusive, resulting in greater diversity and more voices being heard.
• Be more stable, and happy, resulting in lower absence, increased retention, and improved recruitment.

Essentially, psychological safety and agile compliment each other – they are both fundamental approaches to being comfortable with feedback, change, uncertainty, and even fear.
