MANAGER BUILDS SAFE WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT

TO WHAT EXTENT IS IT IMPORTANT TO BUILD A WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT THAT IS SAFE?

Perhaps ask yourself the consequence of
  • pretending you know all the answers
  • shouting, bullying, publicly dressing down humiliating a mistake
  • grinding a suggestion into the ground
  • free expression of thought
Will your team
  • be living in fear and survival mode?
  • be willing to take risk, assert healthily or self protect, stay low?
  • be willing to express freely
  • feel heard, acknowledged, understood
At the end of the day will your team make you look good to your boss?
