Amy Edmondson, internationally recognized as one of the leading specialists in leadership and organizational learning, gave an interview at Harvard Business School about psychological safety in the workplace.
According to Edmondson, true psychological safety does not eliminate responsibility or rigor in organizations. On the contrary, she has demonstrated that this approach creates the necessary conditions for honest conversations to exist between employees and leaders.
The specialist emphasizes that psychological safety implies permission for candor, allowing members of an organization to express their opinions and concerns openly, without fear of retaliation.
This safe environment also favors the exchange of challenging feedback and promotes continuous learning, contributing to more effective and adaptable organizations.
