While psychological safety sounds like an academic term, it is, above all, a deeply human experience: when we can ask a naïve question, propose a wild idea, or share our emotions, knowing we will not be embarrassed or marginalized—that’s when we experience psychological safety, and we can be our best and most creative selves.
By contrast, when we don’t dare ask a question, when we hold back our true thoughts, and when we mask our emotions because we are afraid we will not be accepted, and we may well be humiliated—that’s when we experience a lack of psychological safety, and we can’t be at our best.



The Psychological Safety Playbook contains 25 psychological safety moves—usable, real-world skills that every leader can learn and practice. Each move has a description of why to try it with references to the supporting research and step-by-step instructions on how to do it. You can start anywhere in the playbook and pick what you are particularly interested in learning more about. Whether you are an executive, a manager, or anyone who cares about building a healthy culture in which everyone can fully contribute, you will be able to put The Psychological Safety Playbook to immediate use.
