🪞Reflection Questions:
Reflect on your team dynamics
- Think about your experience at your company and on your team. Do you feel that you experience psychological safety on your team? Why or why not? Do you feel able to speak up about a challenge or an idea at work?
- Do you feel that your colleagues experience psychological safety on your team? Why or why not?
- Do you think your manager is receptive to new ideas? Why or why not?
- Within your team/department, who can you rely on for support?
- In what ways can you signal to your team that you're committed to creating a psychologically safe space?
Make it personal:
- Reflect on how you are most comfortable being heard…maybe you like to speak up in meetings! Maybe you’re more comfortable in the chat or sending an email. Knowing your options can empower you to speak up.
- How might you support your teammates in having their ideas heard? Could you suggest a roundtable meeting? Redirect the conversation when an idea is overlooked?
- What team norms or values can you document and deploy within your team to drive more opportunities to have ideas be heard?
- What business processes, meeting cadences, or decision making criteria can you recommend to change the way you do business?
