Key Takeaways:

• Psychological Safety is Key: It’s about creating a safe, relaxed space where people can innovate and thrive—not avoiding conflict.
• Trust Takes Repetition: Leaders build trust by showing up consistently and predictably.
• Start with You: Great leadership begins with self-awareness, humility, and modeling accountability.
• Consistency is Everything: Hold everyone to the same standard—excusing bad behavior erodes trust.
• It’s a Journey: Building psychological safety is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time fix.
