Psychological Safety Toolkit

Two hands reaching out to connect two puzzle pieces against a light background.

Leadership Capability Building

Grounded in the globally recognised research of Harvard Professor Amy C. Edmondson, who defined the field of psychological safety, our Toolkit translates rigorous evidence into practical leadership action through webinars and self-paced learning experiences.

Leaders build the capability to:

  • Intentionally build and sustain psychological safety
  • Apply practical and immediately usable frameworks
  • Use behavioural cues and conversational tools in real time
  • Lead constructive, performance-enhancing dialogue
  • Shape environments where speaking up is encouraged

The result:

Stronger dialogue, healthier dynamics and teams that learn, adapt and deliver faster.

The Fearless Leader’s Toolkit is the core learning pathway for building these leadership capabilities.

The Fearless Leader’s Toolkit

Endorsed by Professor Amy C. Edmondson, the world leader in psychological safety research, the Fearless Leader’s Toolkit is accessible as:

  • A detailed 3-hour online learning program with built-in reflective guides and practices
  • 30-minute Webinar/Podcast that covers all the basics of the Leader’s Toolkit for Psychological Safety
  • Series of 10 x 3-minute, easily digestible ‘how to’ guides on elements of the Leader’s Toolkit for Psychological Safety

Measuring Psychological Safety

Measuring Teams: The Fearless Organisation Scan

  • 7-question online survey. 3 minutes. Cost effective and scalable.
  • Enables the conversations that are critical to team cohesion and performance
  • The results are expressed in 4 dimensions to offer perspectives into the relational dynamics that may be helping, hindering, or harming a team.

An experienced coach debriefs the team to surface actionable insights unique to that team’s context, members, and dynamics.

When measured at regular intervals, the FOS can assess the effectiveness of coaching, training programs or strategic initiatives around psychological safety and psychosocial hazards minimisation.

Measuring Across Organisations:
The Psychological Safety Scan

This measures perceptions of safety across business units or entire organisations. Designed to compare the experience across teams and other employee variables. It reveals how psychological safety varies between teams, business units, leadership levels, or geographic location. We work with you to design the most valuable investigation points.

The psychological safety scan can also be used to understand how your employees are experiencing your organisation’s core values, and how this relates to their current experience of psychological safety both within teams, and across your organisation more broadly.

The data provides powerful insight into where there are high-quality conversations that support elevated collaboration and knowledge transfer, or where there is friction and opportunity to correct constraints.

Let’s make conversations work in your organisation.

We’ll help transform your people and business through conversations and meaningful connections that improve performance and wellbeing.
