SUMMARY:Loudoun SHRM: The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety: (Zoom Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety: Defining the Path to Inclusion and Innovation Timothy R. Clark\, Ph.D.\nSession Outline: Based on his new book\, The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety: Defining the Path to Inclusion and Innovation\, Dr. Timothy R. Clark\, an Oxford-trained social scientist and global thought leader\, will share his breakthrough research on the topic of psychological safety. In 2021\, organizations around the world are striving to achieve two goals: The first is to create a sanctuary of inclusion. The second is to create an incubator of innovation. These goals can only be accomplished when leaders model and reinforce psychological safety to activate the full potential of people. Psychological safety refers to “an environment of rewarded vulnerability”– a place where it’s not expensive to be yourself. But psychological safety is not a binary proposition. It’s a matter of degree. When leaders nurture psychological safety to the highest levels\, individuals are able to climb the ladder of personal vulnerability and do four things:\n\nFeel included\nFeel safe to learn\nFeel safe to contribute\nFeel safe to challenge the status quo
