Course description
Psychological safety is recognized as a key differentiator in successful team performance and a foundational component for openness, creativity and risk-taking. The challenge of leadership is how to foster that safety in their teams while also delivering on high (and frequently increasing) expectations. In this two-hour program, we will briefly review the research to establish credibility, then quickly move to an exercise where participants experience the presence and absence of psychological safety.

Training content
From awareness and experience, we discuss how to create psychological safety and enable high performance. The lessons learned or confirmed in this activity can be immediately applied to subsequent sessions, to daily work, and even to personal relationships. This topic is even more critical now as the conversations we need for teams to be highly effective are fraught with risk, especially if psychological safety has not been adequately established.
Psychological safety is a vital part of Humanistic Leadership, providing uniquely human insights, tools, and capabilities necessitated by workplace displacements brought about by advances in technology. USC Marshall Executive Education launched a provocative series that also includes courses on activating curiosity, mindfulness, inclusive leadership, and purpose-driven leadership.
