“A climate where people feel safe to contribute their ideas, thoughts and even challenges without fear of humiliation or recrimination.” Professor Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School.

Levels of trust and psychological safety in a team can have a significant impact on performance. When it is present, motivation and innovation will increase. When we feel safe, we can communicate openly and transparently, and this allows us to learn and grow. A lack of trust results in mistakes being buried, and in difficulties with retention, stress and low morale.

This session will allow you to reflect on how a psychologically safe environment can be fostered and the role you play in this.

Three alternative dates – please only sign up to one as the content is identical.

Discussion Topic: Creating development plans to stretch and inspire.

This series of informal drop in sessions is designed to provide both new and more experienced leaders and managers, across all staff groups, with a safe space to share practice and discuss some of the challenges that can arise when supporting others to develop and strengthen their performance. Each session will start with Q&A with a panel of experienced managers drawn from across the University. This will be followed by questions from the audience and small group discussion in break-out rooms (depending on audience size/timings). The format is designed to facilitate peer support and learning. Following the session, recommendations for training and other resources will be shared.

“It’s lovely to convene a group of people interested in leadership and developing their skills in this area.”  (feedback from previous panel discussion participant)
