Amy Edmonson, the author of The Fearless Organization, defines psychological safety as “a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes.” Managers and supervisors are extremely influential within an organization when it comes to creating a psychologically safe workplace. However, they need to feel this level of safety themselves from their peers and senior management before they can create this environment for others. But where to start?
