Fearless Organization Scan for Teams
Psychological Safety
In the words of Dr. Amy Edmondson, “for knowledge work to flourish, the workplace must be one where people feel able to share their knowledge! This means sharing concerns, questions, mistakes, and half-formed ideas.”
Based on her groundbreaking work at Harvard Business School, The Fearless Organization Scan gauges the level of psychological safety within a team. That is to say, it measures the level of interpersonal comfort to identify problems, voice concerns, and challenge the norms that stifle team growth and performance.
This work underpins your organization’s efforts in creating belonging on teams so that diversity can flourish.
Why the Need?
We not only live in a VUCA world but find ourselves increasingly working in a remote one too. Dealing with post pandemic exhaustion and possibly some hiring/retention concerns, you may be finding that belonging and a sense of connection on your teams is lower than you would like in your culture.
In addition to the above, we tend to operate in multi layered hierarchies that have a built-in bias for a deference to authority. But as leaders, we know that collaboration & candor on our teams is essential to navigate the future. It takes concentrated effort to overcome these challenges and create a climate of candor (over silence) where people feel safe enough to bring their very best and grow.
