I really like this new article on psychological safety (a belief that we can speak up, take risks & make mistakes without fear of being judged, humiliated or punished) at work. It sets out a series of activities/approaches that all of us can use to build psychological safety in our teams. These include: - Manual of Me - Team Charter - Lifelife - Activity from Google that ranks sources of anxiety - 5-word Fridays - Team temperature check uxdesign.cc/creating-psychol….

What should we do to influence large groups of people to change their behaviour? The most comprehensive synthesis of studies on behaviour change ever undertaken has been published & offers some clear steers: 1) For behaviour change at an individual level: - giving accurate information or trying to change beliefs is less effective - providing social support, tapping into individuals’ behavioural skills/habits & removing practical obstacles to behaviour is more effective 2) For behaviour change at a social/structural level: - interventions seeking to increase trustworthiness or targeting knowledge, general attitudes, beliefs, or mandates or other administrative/legal sanctions have negligible effect - access to resources that facilitate behaviour change & social support have the greatest impact asc.upenn.edu/news-events/ne….

The psychological safety hierarchy of needs at work by @heidipsychology. I appreciate how Heidi has created three categories. At the base are basic safety needs like not being micromanaged. Next is psychological needs like belonging & sense of esteem. At the top is self-fulfilment needs, the ability to be our true, authentic selves. People who work at the top of their pyramid are the ones with the potential to deliver the best performance.

Leading a team is much like conducting an orchestra. Its about building team cohesion based on a collective vision & shared goals & ensuring each person is valued for the unique contribution they make. We seek a synchronised effort that leaves a lasting impact: marian-temmen.medium.com/lea… By @MarianTemmen Graphic: @tnvora
