If you want to lead a high-performing project team:

→ prioritise psychological safety.

When team members feel psychologically safe, they are:

→ #Transparent: Openly share project updates, both positive and negative.

→ #Resourceful: Propose creative solutions to project challenges.

→ #Vocal: Speak up about potential risks and roadblocks.

→ #Experimental: Suggest innovative approaches and ideas.

→ #Responsible: Take ownership of their tasks and deliverables.

→ #Candid: Voice concerns and doubts without fear of retribution.

→ #Constructive: Offer feedback to improve project processes.

→ #Resilient: Learn from mistakes and setbacks.

→ #Collaborative: Support and help one another to achieve project goals.

→ #Proactive: Acknowledge errors early to prevent them from escalating.

→ #Inclusive: Appreciate diverse opinions and perspectives.

Create an environment where open dialogue, mutual respect, and the freedom to experiment and take calculated risks are encouraged and valued.
