“The challenge of leadership is to be strong but not rude; be kind but not weak; be bold but not a bully; be thoughtful but not lazy; be humble but not timid; be proud but not arrogant.” – Jim Rohn, author, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker.

A team that has psychological safety will not view an individual’s performance issues as a problem with the person themselves. Rather, the team will approach the situation with empathy and seek to understand the underlying issues that may be impacting the person’s performance.

This non-judgmental attitude is essential to fostering psychological safety, as it allows team members to feel safe and supported in sharing their struggles and challenges. This can include personal issues that may be affecting their work performance.

In a psychologically safe environment, team members are not afraid of humiliation or judgment, and they feel comfortable reaching out to others for help and support. When a team can provide this type of supportive environment, it can be considered a safe place where individuals feel valued and respected.

By creating a safe environment, team members can work together to solve problems, support one another, and achieve shared goals. This ultimately leads to a more productive and successful team.
