Psychological Safety
What one attribute sets apart high-performing teams?
In its quest to build the perfect team, Google's People Analytics division established Project Aristotle to identify key attributes of successful and effective teams. By matching observations and group dynamics of over 180 teams across the company against findings of decades of academic studies, Google targeted precisely which qualities make the best teams.
The research team identified psychological safety as one of the key characteristics. Harvard Business School Professor, Amy Edmondson, first referred to psychological safety in 1999 as 'confidence that the team will not embarrass, reject or punish someone for speaking up'. Google further defined it as a team that demonstrates characteristics of conversational equity and social sensitivity.
How can managers ensure team members feel safe to take risks and be vulnerable in front of each other? Start by replacing blame with curiosity.
- Create a conscious workplace culture where key attributes of psychological safety are the norm.
- Avoid the ripple effect of belittling, sarcasm, blaming or incivility which hijacks focus.
- Make it easy for people to speak up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes.
- Understand five key dysfunctional team behaviours and transform them into five positive behaviours.
- How can Managers build an emotionally intelligent team where operational excellence is the result.

The Intrapreneurial Middle Manager: Key players in the new world of work
Middle Managers play a key role in organisational effectiveness, culture and team performance. By brining an intrapreneurial mindset and approach to their work, they can unlock and harness the under-utilised potential within themselves and their teams which can directly translate into value creation for their organisation. This is the BEST way to thrive in our disrupted, uncertain, rapidly transforming world.
The imperative is clear - develop and support middle managers to be proactive opportunity-finders and energised creative problem-solvers who can lead themselves and their teams in ways that will take their enterprise into new markets, drive transformation, evolve business models, create engagement, cut through bureaucracy, solve customers' problems and generally create massive value.
This presentation will help middle managers appreciate their value to the organisation as intrapreneurs and why developing the skills of an intrapreneur will enhance their careers by making them the most valuable of all employees.
- Understand the concept of intrapreneurialism and why it is so important for them right now.
- Know how to develop and use their intrapreneurial skills to be even more effective middle managers.
- Discover their intrapreneural leadership potential.
- Be able to use their intrapreneurial talent to build a culture of intrapreneurialism in their teams and organisations.

Organisations don't change, people do! How to level up your change leadership.
Are you leading change right now? Or maybe you call it transformation, or transition.
Of course you are. Any leader is a leader of change.
Life is change. The world was experiencing an ever increasing rate of change long before the events of the COVID pandemic. Now, more than ever, leaders need to create the opportunity for their own people to become masters of change. Rather than simple surviving change, what if your people could thrive during change?
And yet, we know that the majority of change activities fail to achieve the desired outcomes.
Why?
One of the biggest factors is that leaders are not taught how to lead change. It is simply assumed they know how. Like anything, being equipped with the right skills and support will make it easier for you to succeed. What are the skill you need to develop so that you can successful deliver effective change and transformation? In Stacey's session you will learn:
- The human centred ADKAR approach for change and the importance of leader role modelling.
- How to pace your change for sustainability.
- Using the Curve and WHOOSH to get the biggest return for your change efforts.
- How recognising reality creates leverage.
- The value of using a coaching approach.

In this session you will be introduced to Resilience at Work (R@W), an evidence-based model that explains key levers which can boost your workplace resilience. At R@W we define personal resilience as the capacity to manage the everyday stress of work while staying healthy, adapting and learning from setbacks and preparing for future challenges pro-actively.
