What does it take to change a culture?

Many leaders already have an intellectual understanding of the importance of psychological safety as they lead an organization through culture change. They’ve seen research showing that teams with higher levels of psychological safety perform better, innovate more, and have higher employee engagement than those with lower levels. The real challenge is turning that understanding into the daily behavior required to enable genuine and sustainable culture change.

In our work with leadership teams, we have met individuals committed to making their organizational cultures more collaborative, motivating, innovative, and inclusive. These are leaders who believe that a strong foundation of psychological safety is critical to transforming their culture.
