Embracing Experimentation: Encouraging Risk-Taking and Innovation

Introduction

In our previous article, we explored the dynamics of building high-performing teams, using Bruce Tuckman’s model to guide teams from Forming to Performing. Now, we turn our attention to one of the most critical components for unlocking high performance: psychological safety.

Coined by Harvard professor Amy Edmondson, psychological safety refers to a shared belief that the team environment is safe for interpersonal risk-taking. When team members feel psychologically safe, they are more likely to speak up, share ideas, and engage in productive conflict—all essential ingredients for innovation and long-term success. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of psychological safety and provide practical strategies for fostering it within your team.
