In our last blog we explored what is ‘Psychological Safe Management’ and why it is important particularly during the pandemic. This week we are exploring how managers can create a ‘Psychologically Safe Environment’ for their staff, which in turn promotes confidence, creativity, trust and productivity.
Simon Sinek talks about a ‘Golden Circle’ of communication. He proposes that organisations which communicate from the ‘inside out’ create better leaders and are more inspiring. What he means by this is that most organisations talk about ‘what’ they do, ‘how’ they do it, and some organisations add the ‘why’ they do it. This is ‘outside in’ thinking. Whereas ‘inside out’ thinking starts with the why, what does the organisation believe in, why do they do what they do. Inspiring leaders often speak from their purpose and their ‘gut intuition’. We connect to individuals when we see their vulnerability, their dream, what they believe in and the struggles they’ve taken to get there. We follow those who lead because we want to, not because we have to. These individuals communicate from ‘inside out’ thinking. Psychological Safety Works promote six components to a psychologically safe working environment. These include:
Additionally, Deepak Chopra shares a model of leadership, that aligns with the above psychologically safe components. His model refers to the acronym LEADERS:
Leadership is a relationship-intensive endeavour. To build psychologically safe management we need to create space for reflection & learning, develop psychologically informed managers, and connect with others from the core of our being (inside out thinking). Now, more than ever, there is a need for psychologically safe management and a need to build connection between staff and teams in organisations. “We all have the capacity to inspire and empower others. But we must first be willing to devote ourselves to our personal growth and development as leaders.” (Deloitte, 2020) If you would like further information about training managers to create psychologically safe working environments please contact FD Consultants at [email protected].
