Balancing Psychological Safety and Performance Excellence

  • This is an Online Event (map)

Psychological Safety is a powerful way to foster innovation and inclusion in the workplace, but too much focus on safety can veer into paternalism, while too little can lead to exploitation.

In this Leaders in the Arena webinar, Brandon Springle, Organizational Strategist and Psychological Safety Coach for Shaw Industries, will guide you through how to strike the right balance, ensuring your workplace nurtures trust, openness, and accountability without overprotecting or undermining your team.

We’ll explore the "4 Stages of Psychological Safety" framework by Dr. Timothy Clark and dive into how leaders can create an environment where people feel safe to contribute while maintaining high expectations for performance. Learn the five key factors of Psychological Safety, how they influence business outcomes like innovation and inclusion, and avoid the common pitfalls of over-coddling or under-supporting your team.

Attendees will receive a practical tool to start implementing balanced Psychological Safety in their teams right away.
